LP cover - a photo of a stylish Black woman (Brown) is on the left; she's wearing a pink silk blouse, a long dangling earring of gold, and has her processed hair pulled back, with a saucy curl in front of her ear and sharply pointed eyebrows; and she is looking at the camera with a seductive smile. The rest of the cover is in angled blocks of red, blue, and yellow, with black in the middle, filled with blocky white text. The white border on the right reveals some damage, including a cut-out saw mark.
#jazzsky #jazzvocal #jazzsinging Late Date with Ruth Brown, Atlantic, 1959 [1967-ish reissue]. Far too many musicians to list here, especially the string orchestra, but Al Caiola, Milt Hinton, Mundell Lowe, Hank Jones, Doc Severinsen are among them. She's best known for blues but this is jazz.
