Annie Ross Sings A Song With Mulligan

[sub]One of the few albums that singer Annie Ross cut on her own away from the Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross group while she was still living in the US -- and a great little set recorded with a group led by Gerry Mulligan! The sound is west coast cool all the way through -- with players who include Chet Baker, Art Farmer, Dave Bailey, and Henry Grimes -- and although Annie`s in the lead on most of the set, but Gerry slides in some lean solos which open up the tracks nicely! Ross is a bit less in a vocalese mode than with LHR, in ways that really demonstrate her skills with ballads and gentler cuts -- and given the support from Mulligan and crew, the album`s got a very solid jazz foundation overall. Titles include "All Of You", "Give Me The Simple Life", "This Is Always", "It Don`t Mean A Thing", and "I Feel Pretty". CD features bonus tracks -- "This Is Always (alt version)", "The Lady`s In Love With You", "You Turned The Tables On Me", and "I`ve Grown Accustomed To Your Face (alt)". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.[/sub]
