Despite the cover, Sweet Sue Evans isn't a harp record.

There's a tiny bit of harp playing but it's really a vocal record with some nice guitar playing.

It's a small ensemble also with vibes and it's very nice. Evans has bright and pleasant voice and the mood is jazzy.

Some of the tunes are original, two of them written by Evans herself, and the ones from the songbook are definitely not the usual. I'm actually not sure if I'd heard any of them before.

So if you want a really good jazz vocal record with a small combo and tasty guitar solos, definitely pick this up. But if you want a harp record, this isn't it.
