The first album in a legendary run of vocal jazz classics on Atlantic Records – and a set that really helped
Chris Connor move to a new level of expression in her music! The sound here is much richer than
Connor's previous recordings for Bethlehem – and the small combo jazz backings have been replaced by fuller orchestrations by Ralph Burns – done in a cool, edgey sort of way that really pushes
Chris into newly sophisticated territory! The sound's on a par with the best June
Christy/
Pete Rugolo collaborations on Capitol – and the group's filled with some great jazz players, including Zoot Sims, John Lewis, Milt Hinton, and Oscar Pettiford. Titles include "I Get A Kick Out Of You", "My April Heart", "He Was Good to Me", "Where Are You", and "Get Out Of Town".
