Released by RCA Victor, this fiercely uncompromising debut pairs vocalist Jeanne Lee with pianist Ran Blake. Stripping jazz standards down to their absolute barest, most haunting essentials, their avant-garde, starkly minimalist approach completely defied the typical swing and bop vocal conventions of 1962.
