Dinah Washington was known as the essential rhythm & blues singer of her time, but only Sarah Vaughan eclipsed her in terms of jazz ballad artistry. This collection of torch songs, taken from her recordings on the Mercury and EmArcy labels, is evidence enough of her status as "the Queen." Arrangements by Quincy Jones, Ernie Wilkins, and Fred Norman in big band or small group sessions are quite attractive and complement her distinctive voice. Six are with string arrangements and two with vocal group backup (the Dells,) but every cut is a quintessential. Great soloists like Clifford Brown, Al Cohn, Kai Winding, Cannonball Adderley, and Clark Terry are included in this set, the best songs being "Since I Fell for You," "Willow Weep for Me," "Stardust," "More Than You Know," "Unforgettable," and "Goodbye." --- Michael G. Nastos, AllMusic Review

Here's a great supplement to the Mercury 1940s session - the Verve Elite CD of Dinah Washington's album "The Best in Blues", which compiles a Keystone Session with various Mercury sessions - stylistically, it fits very well with the "Blues, Boogie, & Bop" box. --- ubu-space.blogspot.com

This CD offers practically all the material recorded in a splendid jam-session in front of an audience which took place in Los Angeles on August of 1954, featuring Clifford Brown, Clark Terry, Harold Land, Junior Mance, Max Roach and others. Includes eight standards, three of them (You Go To My Head, Lover Come Back To Me, and Ill Remember April) in extensive versions with all the instrumentalists taking solos), and five versions more in line with what was habitual at that time, with special interventions of Brownie in "No More", Harold Land in "Darn That Dream", and Herb Geller in "Crazy He Calls Me". ---freshsoundrecords.com

Even though she's in the midst of the stellar soloists, Washington expertly works her supple voice throughout to remain the star attraction . . . A fine disc with top arrangements by Quincy Jones. ---Stephen Cook, AllMusic Review

Dinah Washington – Dinah Jams (1954)

2009-10-16T14:46:43Z

Dinah Washington – Dinah Jams (1954)


1. Lover Come Back To Me
2. Alone Together
3. Summertime
4. Come Rain Or Come Shine
5. No More
6. I've Got You Under My Skin
7. There Is No Greater Love
8. You Go To My Head

Personnel: 
Dinah Washington (vocals); 
Herb Geller (alto saxophone); 
Harold Land (tenor saxophone); 
Clifford Brown, Clark Terry, Maynard Ferguson (trumpet); 
Junior Mance, Richie Powell (piano); 
Keeter Betts, George Morrow (bass);
Max Roach (drums).

Recorded at the start of Dinah Washington's climb to fame, 1954's Dinah Jams was taped live in front of a studio audience in Los Angeles. While Washington is in top form throughout, effortlessly working her powerful, blues-based voice on both ballads and swingers, the cast of star soloists almost steals the show. In addition to drummer Max Roach, trumpeter Clifford Brown, and other members of Brown and Roach's band at the time -- tenor saxophonist Harold Land, pianist Richie Powell, and bassist George Morrow -- trumpeters Maynard Ferguson and Clark Terry, alto saxophonist Herb Geller, and pianist Junior Mance also contribute to the session. Along with extended jams like "Lover Come Back to Me," "You Go to My Head," and "I'll Remember April" -- all including a round of solos -- there are shorter ballad numbers such as "There Is No Greater Love" and "No More," the last of which features excellent muted, obbligato work by Brown. Other solo highlights include Land's fine tenor solo on "Darn That Dream" and Geller's alto statement on the disc's standout Washington vocal, "Crazy." And even though she's in the midst of these stellar soloists, Washington expertly works her supple voice throughout to remain the star attraction, even matching the insane, high-note solo blasts trumpeter Ferguson expectedly delivers. A fine disc. Newcomers, though, should start with more accessible and more vocal-centered Washington titles like The Swingin' Miss D or The Fats Waller Songbook, both of which feature top arrangements by Quincy Jones. ---Stephen Cook, Rovi
