A Touch of Today is the sound of a world-class jazz vocalist claiming the pop landscape of 1966 as her own.

Nancy Wilson doesn't just cover these songs; she inhabits them with a poise that turns radio hits into timeless standards. The mood is unmistakably nocturnal, evoking the high-gloss sophistication of a mid-century metropolitan lounge where the ice cubes clink in rhythm with the upright bass.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the sparse opening piano to the full orchestral swell on The Shadow of Your Smile.
The way Wilson's voice drops to a near-whisper during the bridge of Call Me, creating an intense intimacy.
The subtle, syncopated drum brushwork that anchors the otherwise ethereal arrangement of Yesterday.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
