Flawless video, both technically and artistically! --JazzTimes
Magazine
This program shows what a consummately charming performer Wilson
can be. Elegant and commanding and backed by a string orchestra,
the singer gives one lesson after another in vocal drama: from
the pensive to the passionate… Even her between-songs patter has
the flow and vibrancy of good jazz. --Billboard Magazine
Wilson is never less than superb on all the material she
presents. Veteran Wilson listeners will enjoy the standards… and
those unfamiliar with Wilson will be pleasantly surprised at how
well she handles contemporary items… This video is encouraging
evidence that Nancy Wilson's talent remains intact. --JAZZIZ
