Lyambiko, a jazz vocalist of German-African descent, highlights her affection for standards on this engaging Nagel-Heyer disc. She is backed by a capable, swinging trio, with Marque Lowenthal on piano, Robin Draganic on bass, and Torsten Zwingenberger on drums and percussion. Her voice is deep, mellow-toned, and often playful, bringing freshness (and slightly accented English) to songs like "If I Were a Bell," "Mean to Me," and a pair of Ellington classics, "Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me" and "I Ain't Got Nothin' but the Blues."

For the past few years, Barbara Morrison, now 67, has been touring with I Wanna Be Loved, her one-woman—and one-man, with Jay Jackson guesting as Brook Benton—tribute to Dinah Washington. This album could be considered a quasi-soundtrack. It omits Washington’s trademark hits, her Top 10 duets with Benton and the raunchier numbers that were her stock-in-trade in the early-to-mid 1950s, but covers various standards, most associated with Dinah across her too-brief career. As on her two previous Savant releases, Morrison is teamed with tenor saxophonist Houston Person, pianist Stuart Elster, bassist Richard Simon and drummer Lee Spath.
