The big-voiced Ms Henske's two albums for Elektra "Judy Henske" (EKS 7231) from 1963 and "High Flying Bird" (EKS 7241) from the following year, released together on one CD. She had to be loud as she learned her trade warming up audiences, un-amplified, for Lenny Bruce in Sunset Strip coffee houses - her beat-keeping stamp occasionally destroying the stage.
