@lifelove240 The blonde is Karen Philipp who was also an actress and played Lieutenant Dish on MASH. After that she dropped off my radar screen, though Lani was always my favorite. I always considered her the voice of Brasil '66.

@aleturdo You're an optimist...

@frederikbijanhoff I couldn't stay away...she had here addictions, but she was mine.

It doesn't get a whole lot better than this: the multi-faceted and sensual voice of Diane with a solo guitar accompaniment by Russell Malone that the amateur guitarist I am could only dream about doing. Wonderful stuff. Robert

It's almost a definition of synergy a quartet like this: each of them, with the exception of Bags (Milt Jackson) is underestimated (yes, even John Lewis who may be one of the finest jazz pianists of his age) and yet they consistently generate music that is transcendent.
