Sketches Of Broadway (2004)

"Her vibrant tone and spot-on technique place Janis Siegel among the elite in contemporary jazz song. Each performance demonstrates her superior vocal acrobatics. This collection of Broadway favorites includes glimpses from Annie Get Your Gun, The King and I, My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, Mame, and several others. Siegel interprets each with authority. Her heartfelt anguish over a piece from St. Louis Woman issues forth decisively. There’s little left unspoken. She reminds us, with charming demeanor, of the song’s place in history. The selections that Siegel has chosen for this project each have their significant place in our lives. ”Make Someone Happy” floats its message on wings bolstered by Stefon Harris and Gil Goldstein. Along with bass and drums, the two artists supply a lush harmonic foundation for this lovely dedication. Siegel gives it her all." (allaboutjazz.com)
