Pinky Winters - Pinky (1954)
Pinky's smoldering vocals are framed perfectly by a quartet featuring the estimable Zoot Sims.
AMG sez:
West Coast jazz chanteuse Pinky Winters looms large among the vocalists of the postwar era. A compelling and nuanced stylist, she nevertheless remains a virtual cipher among the listening public as a result of a prolonged retirement that included a nearly three-decade hiatus from recording. Born Phyllis Wozniak in Michigan City, IN, on February 1, 1930, she began piano studies at the age of four, she played her first public concert within a year, and throughout her adolescence performed at venues across the northwest Indiana region. After graduating high school Winters briefly tenured at an office job before relocating to Denver, gigging alongside pianist Dick Grove. When Grove and Winters' future husband, bassist Jim Wolf, relocated to Los Angeles in 1953, she soon followed suit, appearing at the Western Avenue club Starlight in a trio with pianist Bud Lavin and drummer Stan Levey. Winters cut her self-titled debut session for the Vantage label in 1954. After releasing the 1958 Argo LP Lonely One, she split from Wolf, later marrying NBC staff saxophonist Bob Hardaway and essentially retiring from music to raise a family. In 1980 saxophonist Lanny Morgan convinced Winters to make a comeback appearance at the L.A. club Donte's. Upon divorcing Hardaway later that year, she began working steadily, in 1982 beginning a personal and professional partnership with pianist Lou Levy, a much-acclaimed accompanist who previously worked with Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Ella Fitzgerald.

Lily Moore - Not That Special & 17 (singles)
Daughter of guitar player Gary Moore. She sings like a cross between Lily Allen and Adele.

Spotify only has her 2015 release Let's Be Buddies. Nice stuff. It sounds a little like a time machine back to the 1960's. I don't think that's a bad thing.
But I think to experience this properly, I need to be in a dimly lit bar (except the stage) on a stool with red vinyl padding, wearing a well-tailored suit, sipping a Manhattan.

Jordan Officer - Blue Skies
Very nice jazz guitarist. Self Titled has some nice acoustic work on it. Blue Skies is a jazz guy's version of a blues album. I enjoyed them both.

Nelson Riddle - The Untouchables (TV soundtrack 1959)
The show that brought Eliot Ness, Prohibition and the Tommy gun into our living rooms had an appropriately Roaring 20's-ish soundtrack. Some fine instrumental music, far better than the kitschy titles ("Tender-Ness", "Dauntless-Ness", etc.) would suggest.

A wonderful night of long talks with my daughters on the phone and great music before, in the background during, and afterward.
Jimmy Dawkins - All For Business
Sue Foley - Walk In The Sun
The Allman Brothers Band - Play All Night, Live At The Beacon
The acoustic version of Come On In My Kitchen on this album is a favorite.
