Sue Raney is one of the most highly regarded vocalists in jazz today. Her
performances on this CD and its predecessor demonstrate her considerable
technique and natural talent. Volume II features several compositions written by
Sue Raney: "Burnt Sugar" and "No Place To Go" (co-written with Ed Yellin), both
well crafted songs that reveal the depth of her musical writing ability. She
also performs Michel Legrand's "Umbrellas of Cherbourg", Alec Wilder's "Trouble
Is A Man", Bob Dorough's "Five Definitions of Love", and numerous standards and
popular songs. There are also several alternate takes (and/or master takes) to
four selections that were included on "Breathless". While most of the selections
are relatively brief due to the format of the 15 minute recruitment shows, the
music does not suffer and this material is very enjoyable to listen to.
