With Lady of the Lavender Mist, Anaïs Reno continues to affirm her place on today’s jazz vocal scene, delivering a collection of tunes that nicely echo and expand on the contributions of the great interpreters of song. Her warm, resonant, velvet tone is wonderfully enhanced by the heavyweight support of guitarist Peter Bernstein, bassist David Wong and drummer Joe Farnsworth. The album’s clever arrangements and Reno’s evocative phrasing breathe a freshness into the well-worn standards that comprise the bulk of this musical set, making this a deeply satisfying listen.
