Diva Nancy Wilson was among contemporary music's most stylish and sultry vocalists; while often crossing over into the pop and R&B markets - and even hosting her own television variety program - she remained best known as a jazz performer, renowned for her work alongside figures including Cannonball Adderley and George Shearing. Born 1937, Wilson first attracted notice performing the club circuit in Columbus; she quickly earned a growing reputation among jazz players and fans, and she was recording regularly by the late '50s, eventually signing to Capitol and issuing LPs including 1959's Like in Love and Nancy Wilson with Billy May's Orchestra. Her dates with Shearing, including 1960's the Swingin's Mutual, solidified her standing as a talent on the rise, and her subsequent work with Adderley - arguably her finest recordings - further cemented her growing fame and reputation.
