Claire Martin - Witchcraft - Scotland on Sunday

This duo's 2005 album, When Lights Are Low, revealed Sir Richard Rodney Bennett (piano and vocals) and Claire Martin (vocals) to be the Fred and Ginger of the jazz world: while he gives her class, she gives him sex appeal.

The same applies to this new collection of songs by composer Cy Coleman, though the distinctions are a bit more blurred. Coleman's music isn't the most memorable, but the witty, sophisticated lyrics of his collaborators are a joy to hear.
