Manhattan Transfer's Janis Siegel swings both blues and ballads on this, her first album for Monarch. What the songs have in common is that they all dwell on the proposition of love, a universal theme that unites material by artists as disparate as Fred Astaire ("Change Partners") and Muddy Waters ("I Just Want to Make Love to You"). Siegel proves herself an adequate interpreter, despite sometimes falling into that tradition that mistakenly thinks Ethel Merman is as important as Billie Holiday. That is, sometimes the whole routine is a little stiff (especially Hank Crawford's alto solo on "The Tender Trap"). However, for the most part, Siegel has assembled a fairly good band here, featuring Crawford, Michael Brecker, Victor Lewis, and Fred Hersch (who plays nice understated piano on the album's opener, "That Old Black Magic," as well as "How Deep Is the Ocean" and a score of others). While Siegel is no Dinah Washington, she holds her own with most of the material, despite sometimes going off the deep end into swing revival fakery. But as she's been at it a long while, there's no need to doubt her authenticity. --Joe S. Harrington

"The urge to marry comes upon us without warning," says Janis Siegel in reference to the Cahn and Van Huesen standard "The Tender Trap," the title cut to her new CD on Monarch Records. "For some, it is a lifelong journey of devotion, discovery, and delightful domesticity. For others, it is the triumph of hope over experience. This song is a perfect marriage of lyric and music by two masters of American song." According to Siegel, another match made in heaven is her musical association with Fred Hersch, pianist and producer for this recording. The two are joined on this program of standards by bassist Drew Gress; drummers Victor Lewis and Matt Wilson; saxophonists Michael Brecker, Hank Crawford, and Jon Gordon; guitarists Russell Malone and David Tronzo; and percussionist Frank Colon.
