Most of Nancy Wilson's '60s releases for Capitol were high quality, including this, her fourth album. Hello Young Lovers contains Wilson's standard program of easy swingers and ballads that show off her impeccable phrasing while sporting George Shearing's luxurious string charts in hits hits like "Little Girl Blue" and "Back in Your Own Backyard." One also hears Wilson's burgeoning talent for vocal drama as she evokes a variety of moods on "Miss Otis Regrets" and "Little Girl Blue." Her seamless blending of Dinah Washington's bluesy delivery and Sarah Vaughan's seraphic tone also emerges as a talent that would fully flower on 1967's Welcome to My Love. For this recording, though, the listening pleasure is found mostly in her signature urbane pop sound. Stephen Cook

STANLEY TURRENTINE - Look Out (1960-2016) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
Although he is best known for his bluesy soul-jazz outings, tenor
saxophonist Stanley Turrentine's first Blue Note session as a leader was
a much more traditional bop affair, and the resulting album, Look Out!,
featuring a rhythm section of Horace Parlan on piano, George Tucker on
bass, and Al Harewood on drums, shows as much artful restraint as it
does groove. Not that this is a bad thing, since it allows Turrentine's
big, clear tone to shine through in all its muscular sweetness, giving
Look Out! a wonderful and flowing coherence. Among the highlights here
are the pretty ballad "Journey Into Melody" and the gently funky "Little
Sheri." by Steve Leggett
