While Diana Krall continues to top vocal polls and rack up platinum album sales, Chicagoan Libby York remains comparatively obscure. So consider this open invitation to all Krall fans to dip into YorkБЂ™s meagerБЂ”just four albums across 15 yearsБЂ”but mighty oeuvre. Memoir, a terrific collection of standards, is an ideal place to start. What youБЂ™ll discover is an interpreter who is not only every inch KrallБЂ™s equal but also bears a strong vocal resemblance to the Canadian superstar: warm, intimate and imbued with a fogbound sexiness.

York has always demonstrated superb taste in both song selection and sidemen. Here, traveling from a tender БЂњHow Long Has This Been Going On?БЂ« and a sly БЂњWhen in RomeБЂ« to a shimmering БЂњMy Little BoatБЂ« and sprightly БЂњWalk Between the Raindrops,БЂ« she is seamlessly supported by pianist John di Martino (her co-arranger on all 11 tracks), bassist Martin Wind, drummer Greg Sergo and cornet player Warren Vaché. Guitarist Russell Malone joins on three tracks, including a misty БЂњThanks for the Memory,БЂ« and Vaché twice contributes vocal accompaniment, adding gravel-filled joy to БЂњLetБЂ™s Call the Whole Thing OffБЂ« and a cleverly updated take on the Bing Crosby-Bob Hope chestnut БЂњPut It There, Pal.БЂ« ~Review by Christopher Loudon
