Oh man, how nice, how wonderful to listen to!

For the last two days I listened to this very same clip around 30 times or so.

Fresh, clever piece!

And on those last few bars June Christy is simply magical!

Yeah, there is just something about Christy's voice that hits me where I live....

just bought one of those cheapo Capitol pop/easy/lounge/whatever twofers, containing her album "The Cool School", with Joe Castro heading a quartet and June doing silly songs - but it's all nice! The other album I didn't actually need (but that I found out at home only, of course...), it's "Do Re Mi", the vocal parts of which are on the "Songs for Night People" CD and the instrumental parts (Bob Cooper, of course, it's also him leading the backing band for the vocal sides) are on the Kenton Presents Mosaic box. I guess there'd be a few nice ones around in this twofer series, but mostly only the worst seem to end up in local sales, alas (no Julie London, no Peggy Lee, no June Christy etc - not necessarily in that order, btw :g ).

My favorite June performance. It helps that she's singing a melody by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Langston Hughes. Rugolo's arrangement represents no slouching either.
