Played Last night 2/14/23.

When playing jazz vocals you expect Audiophile SQ. With the 8 recordings I selected(2 Japanese pressings) I was not disappointed due to 6/8 reaching Audiophile status. Since Linda Lawson was a 1960 pressing and Connick Jr. 1988 both had slight issues common with each recording era. The SQ crown goes to Dick Haymes(Audiophile AP-200)maybe it was the calmness/flow of the music that gave it the edge over Marlena Shaw. Both IMO are demo level recordings.
