Welcome !      Katharine Whalen Now Or Never Album: Katherine Whalen's Jazz Squad Genres: Jazz This band of Zippers and other hipsters has the love, if not quite the chops, to tackle a straight-up standard and make it swing!

It’s also a reasonably effective vehicle for Whalen’s coquettish vocals, which get over precisely because she doesn’t try too hard. The gently-bopping arrangement, filled with horns and a sloppy but engaging enthusiasm, is period-authentic, and its busyness also keeps the heat off Whalen. Billie Holiday the whole thing assuredly ain’t, though it’s hard to fault the obvious love the participants have for the material. That doesn’t always equal great listening, but it keeps this one listenable at least.       Dan LeRoy     Dan LeRoy is the music and entertainment writer for the Charleston Daily Mail.
