In Blue, her latest release, documents her first try at interpreting a whole set of songs loosely categorized as blues, including material by Mose Allison, George and Ira Gershwin, and Joni Mitchell. She's previously proved her versatility by recording and performing samba, bop, bossa nova, pop, Broadway show tunes and singing in French, Portuguese and Italian. And since she's known for her scatting talents, it's no surprise that she pulls this off as well.
With all her gifts, including one for immaculate phrasing, Allyson never fails to swing. Enjoy her recess from heaven before she takes off for the stars -- mere gravity can't hold her back.
