A collection of late-night jazz featuring the masterful creator of mood and conveyor of emotion. The mood she favored was intimacy; the emotion, love, which was often frustrated. Listeners who care about feelings-genuine feelings, which are sometimes raw-will thus forever find her music attractive and meaningful.
