The record
A mid-'50s Bethlehem vocal date built around a singer who left barely a trace on the broader jazz record -- rare enough that it's practically a footnote to the label's golden run of singer sessions. Worth a spin for the curious ear tracing Bethlehem's lesser-known corners alongside its Chris Connor and Carmen McRae sides.
