DINAH JAMS

Description:
Recorded at the start of Dinah Washington's climb to fame, 1954's Dinah Jams was taped live in front of a studio audience in Los Angeles. While Washington is in top form throughout, effortlessly working her powerful, blues based voice on both ballads and swingers, the cast of star soloists almost steals the show. In addition to drummer Max Roach, trumpeter Clifford Brown, and other members of Brown and Roach's band at the time tenor saxophonist Harold Land, pianist Richie Powell, and bassist George Morrow trumpeters Maynard Ferguson and Clark Terry, alto saxophonist Herb Geller, and pianist Junior Mance also contribute to the session. Washington expertly works her supple voice throughout to remain the star attraction, even matching the insane, high note solo blasts trumpeter Ferguson expectedly delivers.
