portrait of chris

Some singers are all fire, some singers are ice, but Chris Connor was (and is) both. Her combination of sultry, smoky sensuality with a delicate sense of restraint put her among the first rank of the '50s and '60s "cool" jazz singers, and her prized Atlantic albums of the '50s and '60s are among the best jazz vocal albums of the era. This album, released in 1960, is no exception; backed by a jazz band including Maynard Ferguson and Jaki Byard, she captivatingly interprets "Follow Me," "Alone Together," "All Too Soon," "Love," "Where Flamingos Fly," "Here's That Rainy Day," "Day In, Day Out," "If I Should Lose You," "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues," "Harlequin," "I'm Glad There Is You,"and "Sweet William." A very cool Collectors' Choice Music exclusive!
