Smooth Operator explores a little-known aspect of the beautiful, troubled African-American actress
Dorothy Dandridge: her vocal abilities. Most of this album comes from a 1958 recording session featuring
Dandridge's
lovely interpretations of "When Your Lover Has Gone," "Body & Soul"
and the title track. That her backing band is an augmented version of
the Oscar Peterson Trio makes her album even more special, and a must
for jazz fans and film buffs.
