One of the choicest of Verve's many venerable songbook releases, My Funny Valentine spotlights some of the jazz canon's best moments in song; and how could it be otherwise, considering the program features the core of Rodgers & Hart's monumental song canon? That's why it's an all-star affair, with such singing royalty as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett, and Billy Eckstine on hand to lend their sage touch to the likes of "Blue Moon," "Mountain Greenery," "There's a Small Hotel," and "Isn't It Romantic." Blossom Dearie's "To Keep My Love Alive" and Shirley Horn's "It's Easy to Remember" aren't bad takes, either. Lovers of American popular song: Rejoice! ~ Stephen Cook
