One of Chicago`s gifts to jazz-tinged cabaret singing, Morris is even better now than she was back in the 1950s–a genuine ”wisdom singer” who read lyrics with a heart-stopping dramatic power and insight.
Based on the patterns of everyday speech, Morris` phrasing is a revelation, especially on Bert Williams` ”Nobody” and ”My Silent Love.”
And the voice itself is a gorgeous instrument.
Accompanied by pianist Bruce Robins, except on ”Nobody” and the title track, where she plays herself, Morris also benefits from the handsome tenor saxophone obligattoes of her husband, Stu Genovese. Don`t miss this one.
