Though she eventually came to be known as a singers singer, Helen Merrills 1954
debut is an unmitigated success of mainstream jazz. Besides introducing the
uniquely talented young singer, the date also featured small-group arrangements
by Quincy Jones and marks the introduction of another future star, trumpeter
Clifford Brown. Formidable as his playing is, Brown never overshadows Merrill.
She is fully up to the challenge on all fronts and enthusiastically tackles
uptempo numbers such as Youd Be So Nice to Come Home To and Falling in Love with
Love with aplomb. A winning stylistic combination of cool jazz and hard bop,
Merrill particularly excels on Mel Tormés Born to Be Blue, making the
sophisticated tune her own as she revels in Tormés down-and-out
lyric.~Richard Mortifoglio
