Like June Christy, jazz chanteuse Davis comes off relaxed and smoldering while reciting these standards, and her band (sax, piano, guitar and upright bass in the main) lends her second album (in follow-up to 2000’s Daydream) the subtle friendliness of a coffee table book. The record kicks off with “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing,” providing instant chill; “Dindi” rolls out the New Age carpet for Davis to lay down upon and nick a vacation-minded Ricki Lee Jones.
