Bass – Monty Budwig; Drums – Mel Lewis, Shelly Manne; Flute – George Spelvin; Guitar – Laurindo Almeida; Oboe – Bob Cooper; Piano – Russ Freeman; Trombone – Frank Rosolino; Trumpet – Ed Leddy; Tuba – Red Callender. Recorded in Hollywood, June, 1958.
Many of singer June Christy's popular Capitol albums feature her cool-toned vocals backed by an orchestra. This recording is an exception. Christy excels on a jazz-oriented set with a nonet that includes trumpeter Ed Leddy, trombonist Frank Rosolino and her husband Bob Cooper (who arranged the set) on tenor and oboe. Christy accurately called this music "intimate swing." Her versions of such songs as "I'm Glad There Is You," "My One and Only Love," "When Lights Are Low" and "Blue Moon" are tasteful, sincere and often quite memorable. ~Scott Yanow
