Vocalist Roberta Gambarini, who's earned comparisons to Ella Fitzgerald, has a new CD of standards out called So In Love that features guest artists such as veteran saxophonist James Moody and trumpeter Roy Hargrove.
Also highlighted this week: Hargrove's big-band CD Emergence (on which Gambarini returns the guest-artist favor), Jackie Ryan's Doozy, and the Dutch Jazz Orchestra's CD of newly-discovered arrangements that Gil Evans and Gerry Mulligan wrote for bandleader Claude Thornhill.
You can hear some of Roberta Gambarini's earlier music in the previous Afterglow program Easy to Love: Roberta Gambarini.
