Album Notes & Community Reviews

Backed by Gerald Wilson's dynamic big band arrangements, the vocalist fluidly bridges the gap between sophisticated supper-club jazz and gritty rhythm and blues expression. Her phrasing is exceptionally sharp and dramatic, displaying a remarkable ability to pivot from whispered intimacy to a booming, brassy roar. The album cemented her reputation as one of the most versatile and technically gifted song stylists of the decade.
