Ann Hampton Callaway: Feminine Persuasion

A swinging fixture of the cabaret world, Ann Hampton Callaway has also branched into jazz and TV theme songs (The Nanny). She has a reassuringly mellow way with the standards, sung in a wry, coffee-voiced contralto. Her latest set is devoted to songs by women, including Carole King, Dorthy Fields, Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee.
