This week we feature an album by vocalist Johnny Hartman, "I Just Dropped By To Say Hello".
Recorded in 1963 for Impulse! Records, this was the 2nd of 3 albums he would record for the label following the success of his album with John Coltrane. Featuring a mix of tunes from Duke Ellington, Henry Mancini, and other lesser known standards, this album is a beautifully executed vocal jazz album. Get it!
