The Best Is Yet To Come 2009

"Cy Coleman was one of the greatest American composers of all time." -Tony Bennett

The provocative, cutting-edge album The Best Is Yet To Come: The Songs of Cy Coleman features stunning, utterly surprising interpretations of his songs by 12 gifted contemporary female artists: Fiona Apple, Madeleine Peyroux, Missy Higgins, Jill Sobule, Sarabeth Tucek, Nikka Costa, Sara Watkins, Julianna Raye, Sam Phillips, Ambrosia Parsley, Patty Griffin and Perla Batalla. All tracks were fashioned by producer/pianist Dave Palmer.

Cy Coleman was the last major contributor to the Great American Songbook. He s responsible for timeless songs such as The Best Is Yet To Come and The Rules Of The Road made timeless by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Barbara Streisand, Dusty Springfield, Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee. Ella Fitzgerald won a Grammy for her performance of The Best Is Yet To Come.
