notes
Independently released on the Queen Crone Productions label, highlights of the recording are a rare, vocal rendition of “Autumn Nocturne”; “Blanche Comme La Neige,” a gothic French folk song reharmonized only as Art Lande can do it; a humorous de-arrangement of “Beautiful Love” with a rant about Internet dating; and Sting's “Lullabye for an Anxious Child.” “All the Things You Are” may be the only recording available with Art singing and “Chthonic” is an improvisation for melodica and voice in Cantonese. Their interpretation of “Lazy Afternoon” is sublime.
“Christina is the female Johnny Hartman. She's luscious, deep, and passionate.”—Cookie Marenco, five-time Grammy nominee and Gold Record producer
“The rants make Patricia Barber look like Candy Girl!”—Jason Martineau, composer and author
“Sweet, languorous, and funny.”—Eric Lipsitt, MD
