Recorded late in 1961, this album is a milestone in
Doris Day's career -- despite having generated no hits -- as her best long-player, and her purest jazz solo album. Cut as a duet with
André Previn (with
Previn Trio bassist
Red Mitchell and drummer
Frank Capp providing occasional support), the album presents
Day in the most intimate musical setting of her career. Her trademark style of singing works twice as well here as it did on her swing-era and early solo recordings. The repertory includes "Fools Rush In," and
Alec Wilder's "Give Me Time," "Falling in Love Again," and a few
Previn-authored pieces that hold up magnificently in this company.
