Swing sweet, low countries

Rita Reys is the grande dame of jazz in the Netherlands. Her occasionally noticeable Dutch accent works like a slightly-off beat, adding a nice little twist to the clean, expressive voice and the understated, solid performance by the band.

Slow, sweet and mellow, just the thing for spending a rainy afternoon in an Amsterdam coffee shop, or even coffeeshop for that matter...
