This release present the complete album The Newest Sound Around (RCA Victor LSP-2500), which marked singer Jeanne Lee’s record debut. She was backed on the LP by the revolutionary pianist who would be her most frequent accompanist during her inconstant career. In fact, after this album, Jeanne Lee wouldn’t make another studio recording until 1968, and after that she only rarely recorded until her rediscovery in the early 1970s.

All Music Guide review: “Third stream may have been the bandied term, but this unjustly ignored 1961 duet set, the debut for pianist Blake and singer Lee, who worked up their act while studying at Bard College, plays blissfully free of the lumbering lugubriousness and Big Mac-thick philosophizing that mar so much of that music. The eeriness, the mystery, and the sweetness lie always in the deceptive simplicity.” (Andrew Hamlin)

Downbeat original review: “Miss Lee and Blake are making debuts with this record. For newcomers they are distinctly unusual because they make no attempt to be anything but themselves –or what one must presume are themselves. The texture and manner of both Miss Lee and Blake are sufficiently out of the ordinary to make this initial disc interesting.” (John S. Wilson)
