4 out of 5 stars James excells with sound arranging and accompaniment.......2003-05-20

Joni James excells in this pleasant two-fer that finds her singing Broadway classics and from the Gershwin songbook. The arranging and accompaniment work on both albums is superb, though pianist/arranger Paul Smith (on both albums) can, at the keyboard, sound as showy as Liberace, which detracts from these jazz-infused renditions. The highlight of My Favorite Things is James' reading of The Gentleman is a Dope. Here, her phrasing, which at times can be less pleasing, is on target. Her Gershwin disc finds her in great voice and she offers up nice renditions which will be pleasing to any fan of pop or jazz vocals.
