DESCRIPTION:
"For her debut release, Melissa Morgan wanted a gritty, retro vibe evocative of classic jazz vocal albums of the 1950s and '60s. She also wanted to pay tribute to such heroines of that era as Nancy Wilson, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan. On both counts she succeeds admirably, thanks not only to her own mellifluous richness but also to a formidable rhythm section led by pianist Gerald Clayton and various assemblages of horns, including trumpeter Christian Scott on three tracks...But Morgan achieves more than mere mimicry or hero worship. Where the breathless Wilson of the early '60s seemed honey-dipped, the more audacious Morgan is decidedly salty." (Jazz Times)

Melissa Morgan really shines on this Buddy Johnson tune "Save Your Love For Me", leaving no doubt that she has the chops and the voice. It is a wonderful rendition, giving her own unique stamp to a timeless classic.
