Jazz album review: Daryl Sherman - Johnny Mercer – A Centennial Tribute
DARYL SHERMAN Johnny Mercer – A Centennial Tribute **** Arbors Records ARCD 19388
Singer and pianist Daryl Sherman is something of a New York institution: she has been performing in the city's swankiest spots for years and has amassed a phenomenal knowledge of the Great American Songbook, especially some of its lesser-read pages. On this lovely CD she's joined by such A-listers as Wycliffe Gordon, Howard Alden and Marian McPartland for a Johnny Mercer tribute with a laid-back, joyful feel to it – and with several of the lyricist's more obscure songs as its highlights.
