Ruth Young, in this her debut album, strongly reflects the "cool yet dark and appealingly fragile" vocal stylings of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker with whom she lived and travelled for almost a decade (1973-82). A fond dedication to Chet, many of the standards are those closely linked to him, and musical accompanists such as Herb Geller - alto and Wolfgang Lackerscmid - vibes have personal ties to Baker. As the liner notes suggest, "...this is what intimate singing is all about".
