The record
Lea's cool, conversational alto sits amid an unusually plush chamber-jazz frame -- harp, bassoon, alto horn -- arranged around Dick Cary's unorthodox instrumental palette. A late-'50s Prestige date that trades cabaret gloss for something more intimate, with Jimmy Raney's guitar threading through the hush.
