With her clear, cool voice, Janet Seidel successfully combines the fluencies of such singers as Chris Connor, Blossom Dearie, Peggy Lee and Doris Day into a style which focuses on delivering the story told by the lyrics rather than making her vocal faculties the message.

On the lighter side, Seidel takes on a girlish tone (which she does very well) with another Hoagy Carmichael gem, 'Rockin' Chair.

Galison also shows he can sing as he joins Seidel on a tender duet of 'Every Time We Say Goodbye.

Seidel has earned admission into that select cadre of singers who accompany themselves at piano like Sarah Vaughan, Jeri Southern, Shirley Horn and Nina Simone.

Love Letters is another fine production by Janet Seidel with lots of help from her friends and is highly recommended.
