about

Although this is her first album, Dodo Greene had made a extraordinary name for herself in the nightclub circuit. With her smooth sultry vocals this is one of those rare finds.
The album features Dodo singing over some larger backings by Slide Hampton -- in a style that hearkens back to earlier swing years, but which also features some extremely fresh vocals from Dodo -- sung in the unique phrasing that still made her a treat to see performing live.
