Who wouldn't remember the scenes: lightly hysterical and hectic, the Blonde with the always immaculate Page-Haircut lives through ninety minutes of film, and in the end always finishes up with Rock Hudson, James Garner or whoever was her partner in the movie: Doris Day - one of the most famous movie-stars of the 50s and 60s. - But what only few people know: Doris also recorded 650 (!) songs. And not just Pillow talk or Que sera, sera.

Janet Seidel, the Australian singer and piano player, uses this giant repertoire as a foundation for her cabaret-program Doris and me. She interprets her songs, and in between tells stories from the stars life and films. Together with her brother David Seidel on bass and Chuck Morgan on guitar, Seidel sings and plays 24 songs.

And she's got exactly the right voice for this CD: beautiful phrasing, a warm sound, a lot of charm and a dose of humour. The Seidel family's bass and piano playing swings and grooves. The recordings were all rehearsed live in the studio. One can hear that because the music sounds lively, but also somewhat intimate! That's where the enormous experience of the two Seidels shows. For the last twenty years they have been performing in the lounges of 5 star Hotels in Australia, Japan and Europe. So far Janet Seidel has recorded nine CDs and every one has been praised by the critics!

A fantastic album: - this warm and charming voice, plenty of swing and humour - then one remembers Rock Hudson, James Garner, the page-haircut, and the joy goes on...
