Sings for Playboys

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Accompanied primarily by the sparse, incredibly tasteful piano of Ellis Larkins, the tragically short-lived vocalist delivers a masterclass in understated elegance. Her light, vibrato-less intonation effortlessly navigates a collection of sophisticated ballads and mid-tempo swingers, avoiding dramatic vocal theatrics for pure melodic interpretation. It remains a highly revered, intimately scaled gem of 1950s vocal jazz.
