This exquisite live recording by the versatile Esther Phillips is infused with touches of R&B, jazz and soul. The vocal powerhouse showcases her unmatched interpretive skills during her performance recorded at Freddie Jett's Pied Piper. The heart-wrenching set features a stellar line-up of pianist Jack Wilson, organist Richard Tee, guitarist Cornell Dupree and bassist Chuck Rainey. Included in the set was Phillips' hit single "Release Me," which topped the Billboard's R&B singles chart. The recording remains one of Esther Phillips' finest performances ever captured as a hi-res download.
