HELEN MERRILL Four Classic Albums Review

Helen Merrill may not be a household name to many, but to those in the jazz world, she is a true icon. This collection of her four classic albums showcases her smooth, sultry vocals and impeccable phrasing that could melt even the coldest of hearts.

The first album, simply titled "Helen Merrill," sets the tone with its intimate, smoky arrangements and Merrill's distinctive voice floating effortlessly over the top. Songs like "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" and "All of You" demonstrate Merrill's ability to take a well-worn standard and make it her own.

Next up is "You've Got a Date with the Blues," a more uptempo affair that shows off Merrill's versatility as a vocalist. From the swinging "Am I Blue" to the mournful "Blue Gardenia," Merrill proves that she can handle any style with finesse and grace.

Moving on to "Dream of You," Merrill continues to captivate with her dreamy, ethereal delivery. The lush orchestrations complement Merrill's voice perfectly, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that is impossible to resist.

Finally, we arrive at "What's New," a fitting end to this collection of albums. Merrill's emotive rendition of the title track is nothing short of breathtaking, showcasing her ability to convey raw emotion with just a few well-placed notes.

Overall, these four albums are a testament to Helen Merrill's enduring talent and timeless appeal. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to jazz, this collection is sure to delight and enchant.
