Maybe the only album we've ever seen from Henny Vonk - a jazz singer with a Dutch name, but a style here that's right up there with some of the hipper American singers of the period - especially those who know how to move on the hipper currents of the spectrum! At some level, Henny's got a way of stretching out her words while inflecting them, with a vibe that's reminiscent of Sheila Jordan - but overall, Vonk's maybe a straighter jazz singer, too - but one with a nicely sensitive vibe, as her vocals are balanced out with the introspective piano work of Rov Van Den Broeck. The rhythm duo adds a nice current of soul from time to time - with Clint Houston on bass and Billy Higgins on drums - and many cuts have new lyrics written for the album.
