    Love,” from Vernon Duke’s Cabin in the Sky, “Let’s Face the Music and
    Dance,” from Irving Berlin’s Follow the Fleet, “This Time the Dream’s

    the Herman Hupfeld classic from Casablanca.

    Callaway also performs jazz songs she has recorded for films,

    Robert DeNiro, “The Nearness of You,” from Last Holiday starring Queen
    Latifah, and “Pourquoi,” a song she wrote for the new film Blind,
    starring Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore.

    “For sheer vocal beauty, no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway.” – Stephen Holden, New York Times

    “…superbly intelligent, singularly creative pop-jazz stylist who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Streisand, Ronstadt, Shirley Horn and Dianne Reeves…” – Christopher Loudon, JazzTime
