For twenty-eight years I had the privilege and pleasure of hosting a jazz radio program called High Standards. That title reflected my passion for the Great American Songbook. Well, judging from this CD, it appears that Anne and Mark Burnell share that feeling. Just take a gander at some of the choices of this skilled singing team. In addition to the title tune we are treated to “I Could Have Danced All Night”, the rarely heard Camelot tune “The Lusty Month of May”, “Isn't This A Lovely Day”, and others. For me, the two nicest compositions were Clifford Brown's classic “Joy Spring”, and a little known gem from Dave Frishberg, “Let's Eat Home”. Clearly, the Burnells are having a very good time! I kinda think you will be too.
