Helen Merrill - Youve Got A Date With The Blues

Review by Toby Chaudhuri

Helen Merrill's album "You've Got A Date With The Blues" is a stunning showcase of her exceptional vocal talent and her ability to interpret the blues in a way that is both authentic and deeply emotional. From the opening track, "Baby, I Don't Cry Over You," Merrill's rich and soulful voice takes center stage, backed by a tight ensemble of musicians who create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Throughout the album, Merrill explores a range of blues styles, from the slow and sultry "Don't Explain" to the upbeat and jazzy "Fine and Mellow." Her voice is always perfectly suited to the mood of the song, whether she's delivering a heart-wrenching ballad or a sassy, swinging tune.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "I'm Just A Lucky So and So," which features a beautiful arrangement that showcases Merrill's voice to great effect. Her phrasing is impeccable, and she brings a depth of feeling to the lyrics that is truly moving.

US jazz vocalist (* 21 July 1930 in New York City, New York, USA) who has worked with some of the most notable artists in Jazz history. Her parents Antoinette and Frank Milčetić were Croatian immigrants from the island of Krk in the Adriatic Sea. Her first album, the eponymous 1955 release Helen Merrill, was an immediate success and associated her with the first generation of bebop jazz musicians. After a prolific 1950s and '60s when she recorded with Charlie Parker and Clifford Brown, Merrill spent time recording and touring in Europe and Japan, falling into obscurity in the United States. In the 1980s and '90s, a contract with Verve Records and high-profile performances in America returned her to prominence. Noted for her emotional, sensual vocal performances, her career continues in its sixth decade with concerts and recordings.

Another under-sung goddess. Always classy, with a melancholic blue behind even the happiest song, and intelligent!
