Dinah Washington had everything you could ask for in a singer--pitch, phrasing, diction, savvy, romanticism, humor, a voice golden or guttural, you name it. She was utterly comfortable in whatever style was called for that day, whether jazz, R&B, blues or pop. Her versatility is readily apparent on the series of classy "jazz" albums she recorded for Emarcy/Mercury from 1954 through 1959, till the enormous success of "What A Difference A Day Made" inspired Mercury to try to force her into a purely hit-making mold.
THE SWINGIN` MISS "D" was recorded in 1956 with 23-year-old Quincy Jones arranging. Jones was already an experienced hand with Dinah, since he wrote the charts for her lyrical FOR THOSE IN LOVE in 1954. As the full title states, MISS "D" is an altogether different affair--upbeat and crisply arranged, with Washington turning in one exhilarating tour de force performance after another. Expectedly, there are also exquisite ballad performances here like "Ev`ry Time We Say Goodbye," "I`ll Close My Eyes" and the newly-written "Never Let Me Go." But it`s the hard-driving charts (surperbly restored in a Verve Master Edition) that show Miss D to such advantage on this particular day.

    • Dinah Washington The Swingin Miss D

      Dinah Washington's Relax Max is currently the theme on a hotel tv commercial. The catchy tune made me want to hear more. After having problems finding it, I came to Overstock and have been very pleased with the CD. I have talked about it so much that my mother will soon be getting her own copy. Dinah 's old school jazz vocals make it not so good for the young listener, but adult jazz lovers will definitely enjoy.
