DreamLand

Dreamland is the wonderful 5th album for singer Libby York. The Chicago-born and raised vocalist has an easy, pleasing delivery that imbues each song with a warm, vibrant feeling. The set for this effort is a nice cross-section of tunes from Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen, Abbey Lincoln, Barry Manilow, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, Billy Barnes, and Leonard Bernstein, among others. York's vocals are elevated by the talented musicians performing with her, which includes Randy Napoleon on guitar, Rodney Whitaker on bass and Keith Hall on drums. A fantastic outing that should not be missed.
