Vocalist Catherine Russell’s fourth studio album, 2013’s Strictly Romancin’, is a swinging and bluesy collection of standards perfect for laid-back evening of romance or relaxation. Here, Russell frames her sultry, resonant voice with both small and large ensembles that dig into a variety of vintage-sounding arrangements. This is jazz and blues steeped in the kind of classic swing of artists like Bessie Smith, Dinah Washington, and others. Included are such songs as “I’m in the Mood for Love,” “Ev’ntide,” “Everbody Loves My Baby.” ~ Matt Collar
