Julie London
Black Coffee
Around Midnight
Capitol
2006
Julie was a beauty who could sing. And check out her peepers, this women had the most beautiful eyes! Unlike today's beauty du jour, Julie's performance could be stripped down to just her and a bass. No suggestive clothes or dancing, no overwhelming musical or staging production. No cosmetic surgeries that could convert even a tug boat captain into a chick singer. As a novelty here is a video of her on What's My Line. Note she says she doesn't dance - a real live singer!

Best of Rosa Passos
I recall a beautiful weekend listening to Katrina Geenan's Brazilian show while she interviewed Rosa Passos. I am so enamored of Rosa that I am sure I couldn't interview her. Rosa has the shorter hair in this video

George Adams with Don Pullen
The Great Escape
Critics Pick
Black Saint Soul Note
1997
Pullen's talents as a collaborator are on display in this video. Danny Richmond didn't start as a jazz drummer but anyone can hear how Mingus loved his time keeping. This group is spectacularly talented.
