Multi-Grammy nominated vocalist Nnenna Freelon teams up with the Professors of Jazz, led by internationally acclaimed bassist Rodney Whitaker. With 10 albums to her credit including her recent release Blueprint of a Lady - Sketches of Billie Holiday, “Freelon possesses that rarest of qualities... she makes (standards) sound freshly minted, refreshingly new... her phrasing is original, surprising... she mines the (melodies) for new and hidden meaning... and imaginative spirit that reaches out and bubbles over..." – Variety.
