Synopsis

Album Description
2007 release featuring the first two solo albums from the acclaimed Jazz vocalist. In 1954, Merrill recorded her first (and to date most acclaimed) LP, an eponymous record featuring legendary Jazz trumpet player Clifford Brown and bassist/cellist Oscar Pettiford, among others. The album was produced and arranged by Quincy Jones, who was then just twenty-one years old. The success of Helen Merrill prompted Mercury to sign her for an additional four-album contract. Merrill's follow-up to her first album was the 1956 LP, Dream of You, which was produced and arranged by Bebop arranger and pianist Gil Evans. Evans' work on Dream of You was his first in many years. His arrangements on Merrill's laid the musical foundations for his in following years with Miles Davis. Rev-Ola.
