Barbara Streisand's new jazz CD: An exquiste cover

Barbra Streisand, the entertainment grande dame, returns with one of her most beautiful albums in a long time. An exquisite cover, Love is the Answer, the deluxe, double CD edition, Orchestra version and Quartet version with Diana Krall's jazz ban is truly marvelous recording.

Co-produced by Tommy LiPuma, the exquisite Streisand album is summarily a perfect collaboration between Diana Krall, LiPuma, Streisand and Johnny Mandel. At 67, Streisand's voice is at once both mature and still stunningly beautiful.
