A totally amazing vocal jazz album from the early 70s  an obscure private pressing album from Primo Kim, an obscure singer  but a great one too! Primo's got a very hip approach to his work  a sound that's somewhere in the territory of Mark Murphy or Bobby Cole light years from mainstream male vocals, and often served up with some very jazzy grooves in the background! Many tracks here are originals by Primo, and a few others are well-chosen covers too  and in a way, the feel is quite like some of Mark Murphy's best overseas work of the 60s, or Bobby Cole's landmark album from the early 60s a set without compare, and with a freshness that's just getting appreciated all these many years later. https://soundcloud.com/primo_jp/sets/primo-kim-to-be-near-reissue
