S'Wonderful  Another Gershwin brothers classic which demonstrates the optimistic and joyful side of the composer. It is sung by Diane Reeves, a highly lauded singer with a big voice and dynamic vocal presence. She is accompanied by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Listen in the middle section when the tune is altered into a waltz section that still manages to swing so brightly. Reeves was a devoted fan of Sara Vaughan and that influence is evidenced by her performance.
