Sallie Blair - Squeeze Me

180g virgin vinyl, limited edition of 550 copies - the complete album + 4 bonus tracks.

Described by a 1957 Life Magazine article as the best singer to turn up on the nightclub circuit, Sallie Blair, a little remembered vocalist who Miles Davis called the brown Marilyn Monroe, had her brief moment in the spotlight, recording just two full albums and a few singles before returning to relative obscurity.

Squeeze Me, presented here, marked her first album under her own name, and features the singer backed by a variety of groups including such jazzmen as Sal Salvador, Urbie Green, and Mongo Santamaria, with pianist Richard Wessacting as arranger and conductor.
