From 1956. I haven't been able to find out anything about Martha Hayes, but this album is gorgeous and has one of the best renditions of "Black Coffee" I've heard.
It seems to be her one and only album. Fortunately for her memory, it is not impossibly rare, having enjoyed vinyl and digital reissues in Spain and Japan.
When it comes to learning more about the woman, even the album's liner notes give you little to go on. One paragraph states that she "has been in music as a business for quite a while," another that she had recently taken a semester-long piano course at Julliard, and that her longtime mentor was a pianist. That's just about it......(Edited From Steve Hoffman Music Forums )
