For my money, nobody inhabits the lyrics of a song the way Irene does.This song is one of my favorites of all time, The lyrics are so wistful, and Irene's resonant voice brings out the sense of longing and loss. Johnny Mandel's extended phrases(a hallmark of his compositions) are exquisite, as is every about this song.
Magnificent! One of Dave Frishberg's nicest lyrics for another lovely Johnny Mandel melody. Irene was a treasure, who cancer took from us all too soon. Her work with Broadbent was wonderful.

One of the finest singers I've heard. How about Kral Space? Pure Music. No tricks, no schtick, no ego, pure music. I love Irene Kral.
Timeless performance of grace and beauty. Great audio too.
Pretty good audio from a club recording of this legend with Alan Broadbent.
I've spent a half dozen evenings in this very nice venue where much great music has occurred, after moving here some years ago.
This is beyond words gorgeous.
