THE SWINGIN’ MISS "D"
1957, EMARCY
Quincy Jones was young at the time, 23 years old. But he had already arranged albums tailored for singers Betty Carter and Helen Merrill. Dinah Washington, on the other hand, was a star, trained with Lionel Hampton's orchestra and ready to embark on an adventure with a new conductor. Mission accomplished masterfully on The Swingin’ Miss "D". For sure, miss D. swings. On songs by Cole Porter (“Every Time We Say Goodbye”), Gershwin (“But Not for Me”), Duke Ellington (“Caravan”) and his own compositions, Quincy Jones invents music in relief and Technicolor, with brass that undulates and rolls, some Latin spices and a rhythm that makes you want to dance with big gestures. Very much in voice, with that slightly raspy charm of a blues singer, Dinah Washington is sexier than ever.
