Album Review
Most of this highly recommended set is taken from a series of 1957 sessions in which singer Chris Connor exclusively interprets songs of George Gershwin. To fill out the CDs, additional Gershwin cuts from other, otherwise unrelated dates by the vocalist have been added. Connor's cool delivery gives many of the largely familiar songs new life. She is assisted by such fine musicians as trumpeter Joe Newman, tenorman Al Cohn, flutist Herbie Mann, vibraphonist Milt Jackson and pianist Ralph Sharon, who add tasteful and concise solos. Many of the selections were quite rare before this well-conceived and appealing reissue was put together.
Customer Reviews
"What A Smokey & Raspy Voice"
She has a truly powerful, spellbinding voice. You could sit & listen to her for hours on end. Not many of her calibar in the business today. Great jazz artist of all time. She embodies what jazz is all about.
