The record
A big-band-adjacent session stacked with first-call swing and bop players -- Hank Jones, Al Cohn, Urbie Green -- framing a vocalist best known for her work with Woody Herman's Herd. Atlantic's late-'50s vocal outings rarely assembled this deep a bench, and it shows in the easy, unhurried phrasing throughout.
