A warm and wonderful date from vocalist Martha Miyake - one of the most important Japanese jazz singers of the 70s - and an artist with a great command for phrasing in English! Miyake's got this mellow-toned, open-ended style that's not unlike Anita O'Day or Chris Conner around the same time - some slight world-weary traces that really deepen the vocals, and make even familiar tunes feel a bit more personal than you might expect.
