Recorded in 1996, Carr Toons was intended by Amanda Carr to merely test her pedigree and create a modest demo of vocal jazz standards. Formally a rock and pop singer, Amanda finally followed in the musical footnotes of her parents and entered the jazz genre. Weaving in a couple of originals, Maybe, and composer John Kester's string-laden Just Another Spring, this collection is a delightful and varied offering of a singer whose musical growth was to be measured in future recordings. The swinging version of the WWII anthem Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (Andrew Sisters) was a long-running feature in a New England regional television ad campaign which brought Amanda's voice into thousands of homes.
