After a long series of recordings for Capitol during 1952-65,
June Christy gradually retired from singing. She only returned to the studios once, for this Discovery LP. Assisted by the
Lou Levy sextet (which consisted of the leader-pianist, trumpeter
Jack Sheldon, trombonist
Frank Rosolino, tenorman
Bob Cooper, bassist
Bob Daugherty and drummer
Shelly Manne),
Christy avoided revisiting her hits and instead mixed in some newer material (such as "Once Upon a Summertime," "Everything Must Change" and "Sometime Ago") with a few older standards. A little rusty during this final effort,
June Christy's sincerity and swing will win over listeners.
