Their version of "Moon River" I find so great that I would solely already recommend the album. But the other pieces are beautiful. I also like the Spanish stuff. The friends of "pure jazz" have always had problems with the "Pop-Jazz" by Jane Monheit. This will have no pleasure in "Surrender". But anyone who likes quiet music somewhere between jazz, bossa nova and pop with a great voice should listen times this album absolutely.
By the way Jane Monheit has on the current tour, in December 2008 she gave several concerts in Germany, played a few pieces of "Surrender". Live it is clearly jazzy than on disk.
