Jenna Mammina & Andre Bush - Art of the Duo (2002)

Jenna Mammina has a sweet and flexible voice. She interacts closely with guitarist Andre Bush (her longtime musical partner) on Art of the Duo, a set of music ranging from swing standards to folk music, with songs from George Harrison, Elvis Costello, and James Taylor mixed in with such veteran tunes as "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Them There Eyes," and a haunting version of "Moonlight in Vermont." The renditions are mostly concise, Bush takes some fine solos, and Mammina's voice is always a joy to hear. Art of the Duo is an excellent example of their music. — Scott Yanow
