One of the high points of
Helen Humes
' career, this
Contemporary
set (reissued on CD) features superior songs, superb backup, and very suitable and swinging arrangements by
Marty Paich
.
Humes
' versions of
"If I Could Be With You,"
"You're Driving Me Crazy,"
and
"Million Dollar Secret,"
in particular, are definitive. On four songs, she is backed by tenor great
Ben Webster
, a rhythm section, and a string quartet; the other numbers find her joined by a 14-piece band that includes
Webster
Teddy Edwards
on tenors along with altoist
Art Pepper
. This classic release is essential and shows just how appealing a singer
could be. ~ Scott Yanow
