Scott .... real nice job ... Personally I think it's one of your finer efforts of late ...

I wanted to add that I think the quality of the recording is really good, and the vocal quality is very good, and of course, Scott your piano playing is excellent ... HOWEVER, I personally wasn't thrilled with the style used for this tune ... It sounds like the 'band' wants to swing' the tune, but vocally you are giving it a more subdued, torchy, feeling, fitting of the message of the lyric ... Perhaps you wanted the 'small combo' effect, but I would have liked something with some strings behind you..
Also, I thought the ending was somewhat abrupt, and could have used some stringss there ... The trumpet is very reminiscent of the "Trumpet Soloist" on the technics kn6000 ...
On the other hand, I thought the arrangement for "You Don't Know Me" was right on....
Just my thoughts ...
