Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Peggy Lee’s 1956 album smash for Decca, Black Coffee, presents her in an intimate setting with a top-notch jazz quartet in place of her usual studio orchestra. The smaller combination, including two of her favorites: Pete Candoli (trumpet) and Jimmy Rowles (piano), works to perfection on sultry takes of It Ain’t Necessarily So, Gee, Baby Ain’t I Good To You & the title track. Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features analog tape transfers, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
