This has long been my favorite, the whole band is in a pure jazz mode on this one. From Jimmy's long 20s-style clarinet solo to Bobby Byrne's trombone obbligato, to a nice tenor solo towards the end. Helen blends her voice beautifully on this her best early jazz recording.

Helen was a one of a kind special vocalist. She made it even better by her phrasing and facial expressions.....and oh, those dimples!

Oh it's good stuff buddy....that I'm now discovering at the age of 48. Never much into this stuff until this past year. A little drinky poo, mixed with Helen & Jimmy Dorsey Band in my headphones after work. As I work nights and this stuff is so soothing and calming. LOVE this music. Love discovering it too. The uploaders are awesome. Thank you for allowing me to discover these great sounds. Without you I never would have!

Helen O’Connell / One Sweet Letter From You (1939) / w/The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra One of Helen O’Connell’s great early jazz vocals. She was great with the romantic tunes such as Green Eyes, Embraceable You, and You Made Me Love You, but just as good with a laid back jazz vocal. Jimmy Dorsey offers a great 20s-style clarinet solo. Great overall arrangement for the band. Recorded in the summer of 1939.
