An excellent cabaret-style singer with a 3-octave range, she is much beloved by the Midwestern gay men's community and has recorded with gay men's choruses. Her vocal style and arrangements are reminiscent of Barbra (all right, all right, I know that no one else IS Barbra, but she does kind of sound like her)... This 1994 album mixes both originals (the Basia-y samba Music and the paean of a title track) that blend in seamlessly with sophisticated treatments (spiced with some mellifluous scatting) of Gershwin, Arlen, Mercer, Van Heusen and Burke standards.
