Sings a Song With Basie
Annie Ross of LHR fame has a warm and engaging voice, combine that voice with a great sax player and you have the makings of something special! Sing a Song of Mulligan is a great CD from start to finish. I never found the need to skip songs or to change to something different as I have been known to do.
Ms. Ross does not attempt to imitate any of the better known stars of her day (she was better known as a member of the group LHR than she was as a solo artist), she sounds very comfortable with the songs and with the arrangements which have been selected for this disc.
The sound quality of the limited addition import is outstanding. I normally listen to LP's instead of CD's preferring what I percieve as the open and smooth sound of LP's. This import has many of the characteristics of a well pressed LP, being very warm yet with the detail that you would want.
I would recommend this disc as a great introduction to the work of Ms. Ross, also check her out with the group Lambert Hendrick and Ross, on "The Hottest New Group in Jazz," and "Swing a Song of Basie."
