The complete original LPs "The Nearness of You" (1958) and "You've Got a Date with the Blues" (1959), presenting vocalist Helen Merrill in splendid form backed by swinging combos, featuring Bill Evans, Kenny Dorham, Bobby Jaspar, Oscar Pettiford, Milt Hinton & Jo Jones.

Although she was well-known among fellow musicians, Helen Merrill wasn't a star like Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald or even Dinah Washington at the time these two albums were made. She only gained greater fame after she started touring Europe shortly after the two albums compiled here were made.
