5. JM mm "Shadows and Light“

Once again the girl fran Saskatchewan gives us a challenging, yet often brilliant live album Although her seriousness in becoming a jazz artist may leave many old fans wishing her to return to her folk roots, I feel_ she may be entering mr most creative period. Be- sides, her rendition of. "Why Do Fools Fall in Love' is worth the price if the album.
