Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary vocalist is backed by a lush, sophisticated organ-led rhythm section, drawing out the deeper, bluesier aspects of her extraordinary range. Her operatic control and inventive phrasing effortlessly elevate the standard material, demonstrating a masterful command of slow-burning, late-night atmosphere. The session perfectly bridges the elegance of traditional vocal jazz with the emerging grit of the soul movement.
