Lyambiko, a jazz vocalist of German-African descent, highlights her affection for standards on this engaging Nagel-Heyer disc. She is backed by a capable, swinging trio, with Marque Lowenthal on piano, Robin Draganic on bass, and Torsten Zwingenberger on drums and percussion. Her voice is deep, mellow-toned, and often playful, bringing a fresh approach (and slightly accented English) to songs like "If I Were a Bell," "Mean to Me," and a pair of Ellington classics, "Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me" and "I Ain't Got Nothin' but the Blues."
