OK if you want schmaltzy...not if you want "jazzy"

Review Score: (4/10)
I had hoped for something along the lines of a Take 6ish sound with lots of scat singing...vocal improvisation, swing inspired vocalese. Y'know...more like their REGULAR stuff. This was not to be. Instead a lot of very string dominated Streisand,Nat King Cole type orchestration. Nice if that's what you want, but I thought this would be different.
