Dream of You, is a studio album by Helen Merrill, which was arranged and conducted by Gil Evans.[1] This recording immediately preceded Miles Ahead, Evans' collaboration with Miles Davis. In 1987, Merrill and Evans reunited to record new versions of the same songs for the album Collaboration. The CD reissue of Dream of You includes additional tracks.
The AllMusic review by Stephen Cook stated: "On 1955's Dream of You ... Merrill found reconciliation, sounding both melodramatic and swinging within Gil Evans' darkly spacious, yet economical arrangements. Suitably, torchy ballads are prominent. ... The programmatic quality of Merrill's coyly sensual voice and Evans' slightly askew, bubbling reeds and languid rhythm conjure up dramatic, balmy southern scenes á la Tennessee Williams."[1]
