Look at the back, this is an all-star cast! Niemack doesn’t really even have to do anything to make this a good album—but she does. Niemack’s gorgeous voice is of course the pervading element, but sometimes she also sits back and lets the band roll without her. Blue Nights was conceived as a concert set, with the varied moods, interaction and energy of a “live” performance. -Pete
