专辑简介

This is more in the style of a popular vocal album than a jazz album, only the Andy Bey tracks really qualify as jazz vocals. That is not to say that this isn't very pleasant music. Harold Nicholas was one half of an act called the Nicholas brothers, who were sensational dancers and very much at home on the Paris cabaret scene. His voice is in a style somewhere between Billy Eckstine and Sammy Davies and he knows how to deliver a song. The backings are excellent and there are some nice little cameo solos from unnamed musicians. June Richmond is also a cabaret artist, although she served an apprenticeship with the Bands of Les Hite, Jimmy Dorsey and Cab Calloway and recorded with Andy Kirk. By all accounts she also had a stunning appearance and worked for some time at the 'Casino de Paris'. Quincy Jones is the MD and arranger for her tracks and he delivers the kind of quality you would expect.
