DAWN UPSHAW
Sings Vernon Duke
Producer: Tommy Krasker
Nonesuch 79531
While the delight of her Nonesuch survey of Rodgers and Hart remains ever fresh, concert

singer Dawn Upshaw makes another powerful statement of her theater-song charms with melodies by the late Vernon Duke‹not one of the recognized masters of the form but undoubtedly one with many wonders up his sleeve. Duke is best-known for such songs as "I Can't Get Started" (not on this set), "April In Paris," and "Autumn In New York," and his creativity stretched from pop art-songs to swinging numbers that jazzists could take to heart. The guest artists are pianist Fred Hersch and singer/guitarist John Pizzarelli‹who, along with Upshaw, benefit from Eric Stern's musical direction. Upshaw is, of course, no longer a surprise away from concert hall repertoire. That is a happy given, but this set has the added pleasures of bringing Duke back from commercial slumbers.
