专辑简介
A subtle improviser who was beloved by jazz musicians, Lee Wiley sang with a smoldering restraint that always suggested there was a hot fire just beneath the surface. Her appealing voice held a quiet sensuality and indescribable charisma, and she was groundbreaking in her decision to record entire albums dedicated to a single composer. Unwilling to compromise and record inferior pop tunes, overshadowed by singers who fronted swing bands, and later by the rise of rock & roll, Wiley faded into obscurity in the 1960s. This valuable collection returns her to glory, featuring 21 of Wileys loveliest cuts, collected on a single CD for the very first time, with remastered sound, detailed notes by Scott Yanow and rare historic photos.
