Personnel: Helen Humes (vocals); Teddy Edwards (tenor saxophone); Joe Gordon (trumpet); Wynton Kelly (piano); Al Viola (guitar); Leroy Vinnegar (bass); Frank Butler (drums).
Recorded at Contemporary's Studio, Los Angeles, California from July 27-29, 1961. Originally released on Contemporary (7598). Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather.
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
The third of Helen Humes' three memorable Contemporary releases, all of which are out on CD, features the distinctive singer on a dozen standards that she had missed documenting thus far. With fine backup work by trumpeter Joe Gordon, tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards, pianist Wynton Kelly, guitarist Al Viola, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Frank Butler, Humes is in top form on such tunes as "When Day Is Done," "There'll Be Some Changes Made," "Pennies From Heaven" and "The Very Thought of You." One of her better albums. ~ Scott Yanow
