Who better to pay tribute to cabaret legend Mabel Mercer than modern legend Andrea Marcovicci? Some Other Time collects songs Mercer made famous, including a combo of "You Don't Know Paree" and "Autumn Leaves" (which she begins in French) that reflect the time Mercer spent in Paris in the 1930s. And while Marcovicci has often performed with piano only, the small combo in this studio recording perfectly evokes the European jazz scene of that time. And of course the impeccable taste, phrasing, and song selection that are the hallmark of any Marcovicci album are in full force here. --David Horiuchi

This collection of tunes made famous by Mabel Mercer is one of [Marcovicci's] best, thanks to a typically classy song list by Cole Porter and Leonard Bernstein, heard in breezy arrangements that recall European jazz greats of the 1930s.
