Judy Whitmore: Come Fly With Me

Vocalist Judy Whitmore revisits the idea originated by Frank Sinatra in singing about various parts of the world. She’s teamed up with pianist Josh Nelson and jazzers Bob Sheppard/sax, Andy M artin/tb, Hendrik Meurkens/harm and Jacob Scesney/ts as well as a string orchestra fronted by Chris Waldmen. Most of the songs have Whitmore surrounded by wondrous strings as on the pretty “Georgia On My Mind” and the lumionous “Moonlight In Vermont” . Sometimes Nelson joins in with the strings as on “A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square” and “On An Evening In Roma”, with Meurkens’  harmonica adding some Brazilian to the samba-ish “April In Paris”. Light and fragrant.
