"Here she is in all her 1950's glory--the complete Emarcy recordings remastered for CD. While the sonics can't compare with original deep-groove vinyl pressings, they are really pretty good. All the LPs are here and the singles as well.Helen Merrill has the kind of voice that makes men go weak in the knees, but with real jazz chops to back it up. The players on these dates read like of "who's who" of 1950's session work. For those who love the great post-Charlie Parker vocalists, this is an indespesible box set.And, as an aside, Helen Merrill is still making great records today!"
