MG-36104: The Swingin' Miss D / Dinah Washington
![[Front Cover]](img/MG36104_Fs.png) |
Label Type : | blue EmArcy type B | |
| Matrix Number : | SIDE-A | MG 36 |
|
| SIDE-B | MG 36104B MS3 A1 I | ||
Comments
Although not the earliest copy with MS1 matrix, this copy can provide nice playback with great fidelity.
Inside The Groove
Dinah Washington's nice swingy album with Quincy Jones Orchestra.
Personal Impression (and brief notes)
All tracks are from fruitful December 1956 session backed up with Quincy Jones Orchestra. Quincy's arrangements surely contribute the magical chemistry between Dinah and the backing orchestra.
Yet another great vocal album by the Queen.
Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)
9 out of 10
