Stevie Holland's swinging jazz phrasing, sense of humor, and sheer vocal beauty shine brighter than ever on her fifth release Life Goes On. With Randy Ingram on piano, Peter Brendler on bass, Jeff Davis on drums, Nicholas Payton on trumpet, and a String Quartet on some select tracks, Life Goes On is a stunning collection of powerful songs from writers including Johnny Mercer, James Taylor, Stephen Sondheim, as well as originals by Stevie Holland and award-winning composer Gary William Friedman, who also did the arrangements.
