In 1960,
pop
vocalist
Julie London
was really cranking out albums for the successful label
Liberty Records
. The success of her 1955 hit
"Cry Me a River"
put
Liberty
into overdrive and
London
responded by making some of the strongest records of her career. Her ability to interpret a song was at its strongest in the late '50s and early '60s, as is evidenced on the shimmering
Around Midnight
. While some of her best recordings were front of small
jazz
combos,
proves that
was just as effective in front of larger orchestras and bands. The drowsy
"Black Coffee"
and lazy
"Lush Life"
typify the late-night feel of the album, leading right into
"The Wee Small Hours of the Morning."
