If you were fortunate to be among one of those in the packed house at the Deer Head Inn in April for the CD celebration for "A Time For Love", you experienced how wonderful romantic American standards can sound when lovingly performed by musicians who respect the legacy of this beautiful form of jazz art. This recording is the first-ever collaboration between Pocono-area favorites singer Nancy Reed and pianist David Leonhardt. The sets were a perfect showcase for Reed's lyrical and expressive vocal stylings and the rich, sensitive accompaniment of Leonhardt's keyboards. Included in the playlist were such gems as "Someone To Watch Over Me", "Waltz for Debbie", "If I Had You", "The Very Thought Of You" and "It's Only a Paper Moon."
