Helen Merrill is the debut studio album by Helen Merrill, accompanied by trumpeter Clifford Brown.
Merrill recorded a tribute album to Brown in 1995.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album four and a half stars and said that "The music is essentially straight-ahead bop, yet the seven standards...are uplifted by the presence of Merrill (in top form) and Brown".
