Singer Dakota Staton's first full-length album was one of her best. She
had a hit with "The Late, Late Show" and performed memorable versions of
"Broadway," "A Foggy Day," "What Do You See in Her," "My Funny
Valentine" and "Mooney." Backed by a largely unidentified orchestra
arranged by Van Alexander (with Hank Jones on piano), Staton sounds both
youthful and mature, displaying a highly appealing voice on a
near-classic set. Scott Yanow
