The record
A West Coast date cut for the short-lived Interlude label, with Marty Paich's economical arranging sense guiding a small horn-and-rhythm crew through relaxed, swinging support for a singer prized on the coast for her clean, unfussy phrasing. Mel Lewis's brushwork keeps things unhurried, letting the title's promise of ease actually land.
