5 out of 5 stars BLISS.......2006-12-26

Just play her music on your day off while sipping a cocktail before dinner. It will definitely help you get back to that good place after a hectic week. The Johnny Mercer collection is every bit as good as the others, I have yet to find one cd of hers I don't like, I just wonder why they are so hard to get? I've yet to see her music in stores and even Amazon is a lengthy wait,but definitely worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Wine and Roses CD Great .......2006-10-27

I've had this CD for over a year and it still remains one of my favorites. Truly well done.

5 out of 5 stars Definitely among the short list of great jazz pianists.......2006-07-18

Reading through some other comments, I'd like to throw in my own three cents. Beegie Adair should indeed be considered among the short list of great jazz pianists. Her recordings are one thing. Here LIVE PERFORMANCES are quite another.

On Days of Wine & Roses, Beegie Adair and her trio present the great Johnny Mercer songs of romance in a, yes, "romantic" and "easy on the ears" format. Intentionally created for dinners, candlelight moments, and those oh-so-grand times of canoodling with your heartmate.

This in no way dismisses her from inclusion among Bill Evans, George Shearing, Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, Tommy Flanagan, Gene Harris, et al. Still a sceptic? Go see her live concerts. I've attended dozens of them, and I have every single recording she has made (23 to date).

Again, her recordings are great, no doubt. Her live performances are beyond great. Hear for yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Moon River Magnifique!.......2005-08-19

Beegie Adair certainly does justice to Johnny Mercer's music - her interpretations are all just right! Mr. Mercer would have been proud!

3 out of 5 stars Days fo wine and roses.......2005-07-21
