The voice is sweet and light, with operatic effects rather than scat improvisation or vocalese. For instance, most of the songs are sung more or less straight, with the second half of the performance done in wordless, but operatic style. I enjoyed the performances, although I think this technique would have sounded overdone on a full length CD. Someone told me that he found the songs too ‘emotional’ but I consider that Ms Schrire just keeps to the near side of acceptability.
