The record
A West Coast blues-and-jazz summit tucked behind Dot's pop catalog, pairing Dane's husky, unaffected phrasing with Earl Hines' stride-rooted piano and a horn section led by Benny Carter. Vinnegar and Manne keep the swing loose and unhurried, giving Dane room to sing the blues like she means it.
