Reviews :

"Stanley's got it all: brains, beauty, personality, and a true alto with a gorgeous lower register that invites all the 's' words - smoky, sultry, sexy, sophisticated. Her first priority is always the lyrics, the story in the song. Even when you don't share her view of a piece, the why of her interpretive decisions and the intelligence behind them are evident.... Stanley doesn't attempt to 'do' London, though she avails herself of some of London's favorite instruments, notably guitar, here the estimable John Chiodini, and double bass, the wonderful Chuck Berghofer, who indulges a ritzy allusion (which I shall not spoil) at the end of 'Bye Bye Blackbird,' a song Stanley dispatches with rhythmic panache and wry humor. 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' finds her low-key but intense expressiveness rejecting the driving rhythm-and-blues soulfulness of performers who made hits of the song, instead zeroing in laser-like on the hurt that lies at its heart, the lyrics about a lover who's learned form third parties of her partner's deceit and betrayal... She includes two versions of 'Summertime,' the first given the typical hot Southern summer evening bluesy treatment - great steamy backup by Chiodini, Berghofer, and the pianist Mike Garson. The second, which concludes the album, is a sans rehearsal one-off in the last seven minutes of a session, because Garson wanted to do it as a duet with Stanley. The results are exquisite, the intimacy holding one spellbound as Garson weaves gossamer textures around Stanley's limpid vocals, the lyrics sung so simply, so directly, with such depth of feeling as to restore the song to its origins, a mother soothing her baby to sleep. 'It's perfect,' said the owner of the studio, 'wouldn't change a thing.' Nor would I... The reference-caliber recording - Allen Sides and Bernie Grundman share principal credits - is so fine it can be enjoyed for itself alone: clear, clean, natural, dynamic, transparent, and true. You feel there's nothing between you and the performers." The Absolute Sound Review by Paul Seydor

"On London Calling, Stanley provides two valuable listening commodities: authentic performances of the Great American Songbook, demonstrating how the composers may have originally intended their compositions (sans any scat or vocalese elaborations) to sound, and snap arrangements decided on the spot during recording. These arrangements range from Stanley's crack duet with bassist Chuck Berghofer on 'Bye Bye Blackbird' to her lithe trio with Berghofer and guitarist John Chiodini on London's signature piece, 'Cry Me A River' to her breezy and humid full-band stroll through 'Summertime' (Stanley reprises the piece with Mike Garson on piano, offering an effective juxtaposition in formats). Where Stanley really shakes things up is with her atmospheric 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine' and morphine-languid 'Light My Fire.' London Calling is another strong release by Stanley, showing evermore, her developing command over all aspects of recording." All About Jazz Review by C. Michael Bailey
