Shifting away from the small-group bop settings of her earlier records, the tragically short-lived vocalist is backed here by lush, swelling string arrangements. The opulent production highlights her cool, vibrato-less delivery and impeccable enunciation, cementing her legacy as a uniquely sensitive interpreter of ballads.
