Format

CD 2350 JPY

A gem of moody orchestral jazz vocal at its very finest — imaginary, dreamy, and dazzling showmanship entertainment born from the silky, gentle, tender delivery and great musicianship of Jules Farmer, the cult jazz vocalist active in the 1950s and '60s, paired with the inventive, imaginative recordings, orchestral arrangements and ensemble work of sound wizard Henri Rene. Back in stock after a long absence. Perfect company for long autumn nights and your own private listening time.

Collects all 22 tracks, coupling the acclaimed 1959 album "Jules Farmer" with 7-inch single sides from the same year and other precious recordings. 2016 reissue CD with 24-bit digital remastering. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
