With Richie Powell, Max Roach, Clifford Brown, and other luminaries, Dinah Jams brings together an exceptional lineup around Dinah Washington. In 1955, at the age of 30, she recorded this album in the studio in front of an audience, in the spirit of a live performance, interpreting classics such as Summertime and Lover, Come Back to Me. Success would come later, before her death in 1963. Marked by an unstable life, between tumultuous loves and a difficult youth, Dinah sings of love here with a unique intensity.
