Tremendous work from singer Helen Merrill – one of the few 50s vocalist who seems to get better and better with age! The set has Helen working with arrangements from the great Torrie Zito – a legendary talent for scoring sophisticated backdrops during the 60s, of a sort that really helped change the way that vocals were recorded in jazz. Zito brings a level of sophistication to the set that's perfect for Helen's accomplished style – and the album also boasts some nice instrumental contributions from players that include trumpeter Lew Soloff, bassist George Mraz, and Zito himself, who plays both acoustic and electric piano on the set! Titles include "Lilac Wine", "Something I Dreamed Last Night", "You", "Portrait Of Helen Merrill", "The Island", and "One More Walk Around The Garden". © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Sealed
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Condition Notes
If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
