Sultry Ladies Of Jazz (3 CD Set)

Description

This handsome 3 CD set brings together some of the most celebrated voices in jazz history, spanning the golden era of the female jazz vocalist. From Carmen McRae’s smoky phrasing on ‘Miss Brown To You’ to June Christy’s achingly intimate reading of ‘In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning’ and Julie London’s cool, understated delivery on ‘This October’ and ‘September In The Rain’, the collection captures an extraordinary range of styles and temperaments. Sarah Vaughan appears multiple times — including ‘All Of Me’ and ‘Sometimes I’m Happy’ — a testament to her towering presence in this era. Alongside Anita O’Day, Nancy Wilson, Ernestine Anderson, and Jeri Southern, this set functions as a rich survey of a uniquely gifted generation of jazz singers…
