Claude says:The First Lady of Song recorded for Decca before Norman Granz built Verve around her — this 1995 set pulls together those early big-band years when she made her name with Chick Webb and later solo. Cool jazz standards, swing, and that signature horn-like clarity she never lost. You've played "Dream a Little Dream of Me" once back in 2018, probably chasing the version everyone knows without meaning to dig deeper.
