Mellow Mama is an album by the American jazz vocalist Dinah Washington, compiling her early recordings from 1945 with Lucky Thompson and His All Stars that were originally issued by Apollo Records. It was released by the Delmark label in 1992.




Reception



AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "Recorded in Los Angeles during a three-day period, the 12 selections feature the singer with a swinging jazz combo that has tenor-saxophonist Lucky Thompson, trumpeter Karl George, vibraphonist Milt Jackson and bassist Charles Mingus among its eight members. The 21-year-old Washington was already quite distinctive at this early stage and easily handles the blues and jive material with color and humor. Recommended".
