Gail Pettis - May I Come In (2007) 320kbps

A great collection of songs with a range of emotions, good stories, honest delivery. - Jim Wilke, PRI. At once subtle and elegant, sultry and soulful, Gail Pettis' rich, warm vocals and understated phrasing have inspired comparisons to Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughn and Carmen McRae. The Seattle-based vocalist shines on her debut recording, offering very personal interpretations of standards such as Black Coffee, Moonlight in Vermont, A Certain Smile and the title track. Pettis also explores less traveled territory with songs like Help a Good Girl Go Bad, The Guy I Dream About and an original, We've Met Before, by pianist Randy Halberstadt. "Gail's delivery invites the listener into a warm and intricate atmosphere of musical magic." - Overton Berry, Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame.
