Audio Mixer: Al Schmitt. Liner Note Authors: Michael Bloom ; Chip Deffaa. Recording information: Capitol Recording Studios, Studio A, Hollywood, CA; Pacifique Studios. Photographers: Carol Weinberg; Chuck Stewart. Arrangers: Clare Fischer; Diane Schuur; Jeremy Lubbock; Johnny Mandel; Alan Broadbent; Billy May. On this well-intentioned set, Diane Schuur sings 13 standards that she individually dedicated to 12 singers: Billie Holiday (who is saluted with two songs), Helen Morgan, Anita O'Day, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Ella Fitzgerald, Libby Holman, Peggy Lee, Dinah Washington, Ivie Anderson, Nancy Wilson and Mabel Mercer. In most cases, the arrangements for the huge string orchestra (contributed by Billy May, Johnny Mandel, Jeremy Lubbock, Clare Fischer or Alan Broadbent) weigh down the music a bit, and none of Schuur's renditions quite reach the heights of her role models. Still, Diane Schuur's voice is quite attractive, and taken on its own merit, this sincere CD (which has an informative 40-page booklet) is generally enjoyable. ~ Scott Yanow
