I like her singing better the older she got...to me, that's part of being a real singer...or human in general. Know what you got, know what you don't got and then make the best/truest that you can with it. If that means having less to do less (but better to yourself)...perfect. Bodies are not meant to last forever, especially voices.

The What's New with Clifford Brown is magnificent.

It most certainly is, but only a small slice of her work.

That goes right up t the line of melodrama, but not over it for me, YMMV, etc.  Interesting, if not entirely successful - as if it was in a Kurt Weil musical.
