Dinah Jams
The casual setting of this one-day live session produced an uncompromisingly fiery album, here happily augmented by three bonus tracks. Washington rips, roars, and caresses her material, sometimes all at once, while leaving plenty of room for the likes ofClifford Brown,Clark Terry, andMax Roachto shine. The highlight is a "You Go to My Head" that's the very definition of the phrase "a summer with a thousand Julys."--Rickey Wright
