This is the pinnacle of Artistry. It's a great CD. A marvelous piece of work and long overdue. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Unequivocally 5 stars. There's magic in all these songs. "The Art of the Jazz Ballad", is hauntingly beautiful.

Gavin Walker CITR 101.9FM

Joani is an artist with the guts to experiment and the intelligence to know what works best. She wove enchantment.

The Vancouver Sun

Add to this classic beauty the experience and originality of Bob Murphy and you have an original, fresh take on these wonderful standards. Together their music remains exquisite and it sounds to me very much like the love has remained."

P.J. Perry

I loved the Album. The greatest.
