I believe the implication of "friendly" here is relaxed, casual, off-the-cuff, compared to some other Christy recordings. Quote

Yes, I suppose so. Ms. Christy herself almost always sounded "friendly' on her recordings, even when tackling some of the more challenging Kenton arrangements. I have 3 volumes of these recordings (not sure if there were more) and the liner notes state they were recprded in 1949 by NBC for radio play only. As such, I'm guessing it was a pretty "casual" recording session with loosely framed arrangements of standards and they probably whipped through a dozen tunes in a given session. Nice stuff which any June Christy fan would enjoy. Now playing For some reason, the piano used for this session had 91 keys instead of 88. To fully capture the sound of those extra keys, I hope the recording engineer turned all his knobs up to 11.
