Best Nancy Wilson CDs

I checked out a bunch of Nancy Wilson LPs (10 or so) about a year ago, although I was completely new to her and relatively new to this type of music. The Cannonball Adderly LP really stood out (I have the CD as well). I also very much enjoy another of her early records, The Swinging's Mutual w/Gearge Shearing (not sure if CD is available...but probably is). I ended up trading in most of the rest, as I thought she went downhill later on. Later Nancy Wilson may be better to collect on CD, as lots of filler on the albums, but often a few great songs.

Thanks to all. And I agree as to Dinah Washington....I think I have nearly every lp/cd she ever made. Nancy is just different from Sarah, Ella...etc. and I have learned to enjoy that difference.

Ella...IMHO, in a different category--both great singers, but Ella had something I can't quite put my finger on. She had that amazing voice, sort of indescribable like Nat Cole. They set the bar!

Agreed, Ella is in a class all her own. I do love Dinah.

I'll go with "The Swingings Mutual" which I have on cd. The tunes are short and catchy with a few instrumentals. The recording quality is very good considering the 1960 vintage. It possesses a lighter, lively frequency balance than many other recodings of that era. Nancy's voice is young and lovely at this time in her career. I had a nice listen this morning before work. Good stuff!
