MAD ABOUT THE BOY, by vocalist Jeanne Gies, is a stunning jazz triumph. Backed by heavy weights including bassist/producer Gerald Cannon, pianists John Hicks and Eric Reed, drummers Montez Coleman and Willie Jones III, saxophonist Sherman Irby, and guitarist Bruce Edwards, Gies smoothly swings, seduces, and surprises in superb renditions of these jazz classics. From the so-cool West Coast Blues to the intimate Solitude, Gies displays a rare versatility of range and emotion.
