Judy Wexler imbues every song she touches with a sense of realism, wonder and depth that’s ever so rare. An inimitable artist, this celebrated singer adds volumes to each story she encounters, be it a post-millennial jazz tune, ’60s counterculture anthem, glimmering Brazilian jewel or any number of other finds.

In the case of No Wonder—Wexler’s seventh album, arriving two decades after her debut—she demonstrates her gifts with a marked emphasis on standards. Longtime collaborator/pianist Jeff Colella’s two-horn take on “Delilah”—”Dreams and Shadows,” from Wexler’s same-named 2008 album—served as something of a model and compass pointing toward a desired sonic direction for this project, guiding singer and arranger in putting the pieces together. The results—a dozen dazzlers that speak to Wexler’s sophisticated delivery, Colella’s keen work with pen and piano, a personnel list that’s totally in sync with the leader’s sensibilities, and the strength and malleability of the material—are pure magic.
