An album released in 1986 featuring the singer Pam Purvis from America, Texas, and her husband, lead player Bob Ackerman. The album is a collaboration with Harvie Swartz (b), Richard Wyands (p), and Akira Tana (dr) as a quartet. It's a straightforward vocal jazz piece that encompasses various styles from bebop to modern, swing, and ragtime, without any particularly eccentric elements, yet it's exquisite. Pam Purvis delivers smooth vocals reminiscent of Elle Fitzgerald, gracefully singing over the atmospheric, smooth performances. The ballad numbers on A2/B2 are especially soothing.
