Liner notes written by Will Friedwald ascap award winning author. Here's how I would define the word InchplayfulInch sing InchWouldn't It Be Loverly,Inch and, when you get to the end of the second line, Inchwith one enormous...,Inch then wait as long as humanly possible before you get to the word Inchchair.Inch In all the millions of times I've heard that classic show tune, it never occurred to me that InchLoverlyInch might contain a sexual double-entendre. Mind you that Julie Davis knows well that she doesn't have to actually do anything to lead us to this conclusion, other than simply inserting a pause, to start our minds racing. In fact, it's the not doing anything that does the trick. Like the best singers, she knows what to do and what not to do, and in this case, simply by delaying a word, she knows that our heads will do all the work for her. I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing her work in person, other than in online videos, and while I don't doubt that she uses her visual attributes costume, body language, gestures) very wisely as well, but even in the strictly-aural medium of recording she can get our minds racing on the subject of all sorts of InchenormousInch things. I had never heard Davis & Dow before receiving this CD in the mail, but the immediate thing that I liked about them was their sense of humor so much of contemporary jazz, both singers and instrumentalists (cabaret as well as jazz, as a matter of fact), tend to be as serious as your life but Davis & Dow knew what Nat King Cole, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong and so many others of the great generations knew, that a sense of humor is closely related to a sense of rhythm, and in these great icons of the mid-20th century, they are but two sides to the same kind. Both Davis and Dow perform InchYou're My ThrillInch seductively enough, accenting it's undertow of undulatingly erotic qualities - t
