HELEN MERRILL – Lilac Wine
[2021 Reissue]

LP – Limited Edition 180g Vinyl

‘Helen Merrill’s recording career has spanned six decades. On Lilac Wine, released in 2003, the eminent jazz singer applies her magnificent voice to a collection of songs that she had never previously recorded, with the exception of ‘Lilac Wine’ – a song she first recorded in the ’50s and revisits here. As throughout her long recording career, Merrill is surrounded here by first-rank musicians such as George Mraz (bass), Torrie Zito (piano, keyboard, arrangements) and Lew Soloff (trumpet). Merrill’s singularly swinging style remains as potent and vibrantly spellbinding as ever.
