Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arranged masterfully by Ralph Burns, this exceptionally charming debut showcases a highly unique, tragically underappreciated vocalist whose career was cut drastically short. Her remarkably delicate, girlish timbre and highly intuitive, horn-like phrasing glide effortlessly over the punchy, highly swinging big band orchestrations. The incredibly intimate, joyful performances stand as a flawless, emotionally resonant hidden gem of mid-century vocal pop.
