Helen Merrill is the debut studio album by vocalist Helen Merrill, on which she is accompanied by trumpeter Clifford Brown in arrangements by Quincy Jones.[1] Brown had recorded a similar album with Sarah Vaughan only a few days previously, on December 16 and 18, 1954.[2]

In 1995, Merrill recorded a tribute album to Brown, who had been killed in a car accident in 1956, the year after their collaborative album was released.
