Description: In 1974 Miss Cook began a creative partnership with Mr. Harper – a well-known musical arranger, accompanist, composer, dance arranger and conductor in his own right. This was a shining model of artistic collaboration and enduring friendship. Numerous recordings mark the journey of this unique twenty-five year partnership, including 10 albums on the DRG label.
The song selections are culled from Miss Cook’s recent engagement at the Café Carlyle where she also paid homage to New York cabaret legend Bobby Short (who also recently passed away).
With each successive release it gets harder to think of new adjectives to describe Cook’s prowess. She is continually improving, ever growing, collecting more and more fans wherever she performs.
