Lush Life (Nancy Wilson Album)
''Lush Life'' is a 1967 album by Nancy Wilson, arranged by Billy May, Sid Feller, and Oliver Nelson. In his AllMusic review, Nick Dedina says the album continues "Wilson's winning formula of combining jazz and adult pop." He also praises Billy May's arrangement of the title track "as a means to tip his hat to Billy Strayhorn, the song's composer, with a smart mix of big band swagger, intimate small-group jazz, and moody orchestral flourishes straight out of an old film noir." Author and music critic Will Friedwald also recommends the title song, hailing it as one of the "good orchestral versions" of the famous jazz standard and commending Wilson for how she "slyly uses 'A-Train' as a countermelody." A 1970 LP reissue was entitled ''The Right To Love.'' In 1995, Capitol released the album on compact disc under its original title, with one additional track ("Do You Know Why") and a different song order.
