I Cover the Waterfront / Lover, Come Back to Me

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Revisiting a classic standard, the vocalist imparts an unprecedented depth of world-weariness and longing through her incredibly elastic, behind-the-beat phrasing. The small-group arrangement is sparse and deeply empathetic, allowing the singer's distinctive, emotionally laden timbre to command the atmosphere. The session captures the dark, profound brilliance that defined the later stages of her recording career.
