Rosemary Clooney

Call this a jazz, vocal, or swing platter -- it doesn't matter. Any which way you slice it, it's one of the best albums of the 1950s. Clooney's at her finest, the Duke's at the piano and Billy Strayhorn's subtle charts can't be beat. And it only got better when Columbia remastered the original tapes and added two bonus tracks to the disc.
