Summary: An outstanding recording.
Comment: This CD is the best one I've purchased in the last few years. Susie's vocals are unparrelled for this material. Most of the songs were not familiar to me and I thought they might be original material but with the exception of the two guitar pieces, they are all written by well known composers. I have played this CD over and over and enjoy it more each time. The backing is superb too. Can't go wrong with this purchase.

Summary: Clear, simple, warm, inspiring music
Comment: This is my first Arioli purchase and I think it is an exceptional album. Arioli's singing is beautiful, Officer's guitar work is superb, and the addition of saxophone and violin on a few tracks only adds to the overall sound. The artists clearly love the material, and they present it in a fresh and exciting way. The recording, too, is exceptional: warm and vibrant. One of the standout tracks for me is "Mother Earth", an interesting rendition of an unusual tune. The use of the saxophone on the track adds a lot. I can't compare it to other Arioli releases, but this album was a great find for me. I recommend it highly.

Summary: Lilting and playful.
Comment: "That's for Me" is a must for lovers of the American songbook. Susie Arioli's style is exactly what you wish you'd hear in a jazz club or caberet atmostphere. It's sweet, intimate, musically excellent without a trace of pretense. These people take the music seriously without becoming full of themselves. I get the feeling that they really appreciate their listeners, as opposed to so many musicians who perform as if they're doing us a favor. They are technically excellent, and socially fun.

Summary: This is Susie's best recording
Comment: I must disagree with Mr. Badgley, who previously reviewed this CD. I have just recently discovered the music of Susie Arioli, and purchased all three CDs at about the same time. To my ear, she and her band have improved with each recording. "That's For Me" shows improved singing and arrangements, with more variety than the previous albums. And yes, the saxophone and violin heard on some songs add to the variety and interest. Listen to the audio samples and decide for yourself.
