Description
Merrill's first album also starred trumpeter Clifford Brown on these sessions made 18 months before his June 1956 death. The 24-year-old singer's breathy, extremely musical style is already fully formed here; in fact, at least one of these cuts, "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," stands as a signature take for her. This disc is a great way to discover the too-often overlooked Merrill.
