Review:Singer
Annie Ross' first
solo album after joining
Lambert, Hendricks and Ross
finds her at the peak of her powers.
Ross is joined by
two versions of the
Gerry Mulligan Quartet
with either
Chet Baker or
Art Farmer on
trumpet,
Bill Crow or
Henry Grimes on
bass and drummer
Dave Bailey. For
this CD reissue, there are also five previously unissued selections and
one that was originally on a sampler.
Annie Ross is at
her best (and most appealing) on "I've Grown Accustomed To Your Face,"
"Give Me The Simple Life," "How About You" and "The Lady's In Love With
You" but all 16 selections are quite rewarding and her interplay with
baritonist
Mulligan is
consistently memorable. This CD plus its followup
A Gasser are
both essential. -- Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
