Singer, actress, and television personality, Dinah Shore (1916-1994) was one of America’s most popular entertainers long after her mid-’40s commercial peak. She was also the first major vocalist to break away from the big-band format and begin a solo-billed career.

Dinah Sings, Previn Plays (1959) is definitely a lost jazz gem, a concept album comparable to both Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra’s best works. It features Dinah backed by André Previn’s exquisite piano, Red Mitchell on bass, and Frank Capp on drums.
