A wonderful marriage of an exciting vocalist with a great quintet resulting in a very classy session. The choice of material is diverse and spans decades of standards and seldom heard pieces including Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin"s "My Ship" and Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz"s 1937 hit "By Myself." Claudia adds one of her own compositions - a very bluesy ballad called "Love Is The Strongest Thing". Schmidt"s up-tempo treatment of "How High The Moon" shows her ability to scat with the best of them. But she"s equally at home when providing a delicate delivery of "I Thought About You" or a hot and sassy groove as she does on "Fever." TRACK LIST:1. My Ship 2. Undecided 3. You"re Blase" 4.
