3 out of 5 stars minnie mouse.......2001-07-17

Teresa Brewer's squeaky minnie mouse voice leaves me cold.It's amazing to me she has made so many albums.The Count Basie and Duke Ellington bands are excellent on this cd.Too bad Kay Starr wasn't the singer here.The audio fidelity reproduction is not very good.This is a budget lable and it sounds thay way.Probably a good cd to purchase if you're a rabid Teresa Brewer fan,otherwise forget it.
