Our Take

In the smoky, dimly lit world of jazz, there are few voices as sultry and timeless as Julie London's. Her 1955 debut album, "Julie Is Her Name," is a bonafide classic, and this reissue includes not only the original tracks, but also nine bonus tracks that showcase London at her very best.

From the moment she starts singing on the opening track, "Cry Me a River," you know you're in the hands of a true master. London's voice is like velvet, wrapping itself around each note with effortless grace. The Complete Sessions offer a glimpse into the recording process, highlighting the intimate and stripped-down arrangements that allow London's vocals to shine.

It's not just London's voice that captivates on this album, though. The musicianship is top-notch, with standout performances from guitarist Barney Kessel and bassist Ray Leatherwood. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that draws you in from the very first note.

With tracks like "I'm in the Mood for Love" and "Blue Moon," Julie London proves why she's a jazz legend. Her ability to infuse every lyric with emotion and depth is truly something to behold. The bonus tracks only add to the magic, offering even more opportunities to experience the sheer brilliance of this iconic artist.

In conclusion, "Julie Is Her Name" is a must-have for any jazz lover. London's voice is like a fine wine - it only gets better with age. So pour yourself a glass, sit back, and let Julie London serenade you with her timeless charm. You won't regret it.
