"Let's Fly" combines tight arrangements for full combo, such as “Dance Me to the End of Love” (Leonard Cohen) and a samba infused “So In Love" (Cole Porter); unexpected twists such as an ethereal “Both Sides Now” (Joni Mitchell); and simplicity, including an intimate “Flight” (Craig Carnelia) and lyrical “Meadowlark” (Stephen Schwartz), among others.
