I didn't think the Mercer album is Jacintha at her best. My favourite is "Lush Life" (XRCD, JVCXR-0217-2), although it too is quite a slow, lounge bar sort of feeling."Jacintha is her Name" (Groove Note, GRV1014-4) is a little more pacy while still covering standards like Willow Weep for Me, Cry Me a River and Light My Fire.
If you don't mind Chinese (Mandarin) then her latest release, "Love Flows like a River" (Harmony Records, HR0001) is very good, although I'd say I probably prefer the Taiwanese singer Tsai Chin's versions of some of the songs.
All of Jacintha's albums seem to be recorded very well and while I think some are better than others I don't think any of them are bad.
