""Maura M. Knowles sings Frank Palmieri" was brought to my attention by a friend who had seen Ms. Knowles perform at the Cinegrill in Los Angeles, but listening to this album feels more like unearthing a lost document of the golden years of the Great White Way. Mr. Palmieri's songcraft (he also produced) recalls the wit and tunefulness of an Arlen or a Sondheim, while Ms. Knowles nuanced voice adapts beautifuly to the varied compositions on this consistantly rewarding album. The music of this gifted new duo will be welcome in my CD changer anytime."
