Collaboration is a 1987 studio album by Helen Merrill, arranged by Gil Evans.
Merrill and Evans had previously collaborated on the 1957 album Dream of You.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album four and a half stars and said "This inspired outing, one of the most rewarding sets of Helen Merrill's later years, was also one of Evans' last great dates and one of his few post-1972 classics. 57 at the time, Merrill is in superb form on such numbers as "Where Flamingos Fly," "A New Town Is a Blue Town," "By Myself" and "Anyplace I Hang My Hat Is Home."
