Life changed for Nancy Wilson in 1958, when, after working with regional bandleader Rusty Bryant’s band and touring Ohio and the midwest, she headed for New York to look up jazz alto star Cannonball Adderley who’d admired her vocal style when they’d played a date in Ohio. Within a few weeks of her arrival in the Big Apple she had signed a deal with Capitol Records whose A&R man, Dave Cavanaugh, tumbled over himself with glee with his capture, claiming she has “the nasal quality of Dinah Washington and the tear of Billie Holiday”. Songs like Johnny Mercer’s ‘This Time The Dream’s On Me’; ‘Teach Me Tonight’ and a lightly swinging rendition of Curtis Lewis’ ‘The Great City’ are among the other tracks that found their way on to this timeless compilation
