Most of this CD reissue contains one of singer
Annie Ross' finest sessions away from the premiere jazz vocal group
Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. She is joined by either
Zoot Sims or (on two numbers)
Bill Perkins on tenor, pianist Russ Freeman,
Billy Bean or
Jim Hall on guitar, bassist Monty Budwig and
Mel Lewis or Frankie Capp on drums.
Ross' renditions of such tunes as "I'm Nobody's Baby," "Invitation To The Blues," "I Didn't Know About You" and "You Took Advantage Of Me" are highlights. Also on this set are five instrumentals taken from samplers that showcase the talents of
Zoot Sims and Russ Freeman. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
