If you are looking for some exceptional singing and wonderful songs from the "lesser-known" Great American Songbook, stop and take a listen. Beautiful voice, swinging style, warm ballads create a very lovely compilation of music in this album.
Editorial review
Jody Sandhaus' first album, Winter Moon, held out hope for a bright future for this singer with the passionate delivery, and this current undertaking does nothing to dim this prospect. The first album had a play list decidedly leaning toward the melancholy. While there is still some of this here, the play list is peppered with bright tunes that highlight Sandhaus' fine sense of timing. You can hear this feel for the pace and for the beat on such cuts as "Too Close for Comfort" and "Please Be Kind." To her credit, Sandhaus is not reluctant to try out unfamiliar material. "I Think of You," which serves as both the kick-off and the album's coda, is a nod to Fred Rogers who has been showing kids, and their parents, around his neighborhood on TV for more than 30 years. One delivery problem is Sandhaus' predilection for broadening her A's, sounding like a native New Yorker who never left the city, as with "ache" in "I'll Never Be the Same." A little diction work would help. At the same time, this tune is decorated by some lovely lyrical bass by Michael Moore, the bass player of choice for many vocalists. But it's the romantic tunes that spotlight Sandhaus' ability to captivate the listener. She's pensive on "Spring Is Here," crestfallen on "You've Changed," ardently optimistic on "For Heaven's Sake," and tentatively seductive on "Close Your Eyes." The album is complimented with the presence of a distinguished set of accompanists. Besides Moore, husband Pete Malinverni is obviously sympathetic on piano and, as on her first album, veteran drummer Leroy Williams keeps the time, adding a well-timed rim shot or two along the way. A good second effort and recommended. ~ Dave Nathan, All Music Guide
Bio / Background

In the meantime this CD is Jody Sandhaus' 2nd recording and features the singer with a great trio. Pete Malinverni plays the piano along with Michael Moore at the bass and Leroy Williams..drums.
Some reviews:
"About five years ago I was lucky enough to hear a disc by a new singer by the name of Jody Sandhaus, one that really caught my attention. I wondered when the next one would come along, and then I discovered that one had indeed been released last July.
A few e-mails, and I was soon listening to I Think of You. It is worth the wait. Supported by Pete Malinverni on piano, Michael Moore on bass and Leroy Williams on drums, Sandhaus gives us her right-on readings of twelve songs on the thirteen tracks. The title tune, penned by Fred Rogers of “Mr. Rogers” fame, is used as a parenthesis for an outstanding program.
↓ more ↓It includes standards like “Spring Is Here,” “Too Marvelous for Words,” ”You’ve Changed” and “I’ll Never Be the Same,” along with very hip selections like “I Like It Here” and “Small Day Tomorrow,” a Bob Dorough/Fran Landesman tune that was a favorite of Irene Kral, a singer that I thought of frequently while listening to Sandhaus.
I sure do have a weakness for a good singer, especially one like Sandhaus, who has given us an album as fine as this one is."
Joe Lang, Jersey Jazz Magazine
"I THINK OF YOU is a winner, five stars, and Jody Sandhaus sings great jazz! Give this one a listen to, enjoy, then buy a copy for a loved one or friend. It is that good! Excellent!”
Lee Prosser, Jazzreview.com
"In Jody Sandhaus we get refreshing directness, delivered via a lovely soprano instrument which brims over with warmth and intelligence. And as an added plus, we get an accompanying pianist who sleeps with her. OK, OK, I mean it in the purest musical sense, but they are married doncha know? No artifice, no multiple tracking, no reason to doubt the singer and trio are in the same studio, on the same page. Summary — a marvelous singer from the technical (intonation, phrasing, enunciation) and emotional (lyric interpretation. dramatic skills) stand-points, backed by an exemplary trio. Malinverni’s piano sings in support, bolstered by Moore’s instinctive melodicism and Leroy William’s deft drum touch.
“For Heaven Sake…” don’t let this one slip past you."
Alan Bargebuhr, Cadence
