One of popular music’s most original artists reunited with Russ Titelman, the producer of her first two most excellent albums, which led to a Grammy for best new artist. Instead of recording her own new tunes, Titelman convinced Jones to tackle standards, material she’s known since her dad used to sing to her as a kid. “Pieces of Treasure” is a wonderfully understated treatment of classics like “Just in Time” and “Nature Boy” interpreted by a jazzy voice that sounds both young and mature at the same time. Expect Jones, always a compelling live performer, to focus on standards, not hits like “Chuck E’s in Love.” (STAR TRIBUNE)
