Chris Connor Sings Lullabys for Lovers 2013 Remastered Version

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
The torchy, smoky sound of vocalist Chris Connor widened the range for jazz singers and in doing so epitomized cool Jazz singing in the 1950s. Her taste, style and intelligent analysis of a lyric divides 'Lullaby For Lovers' into two moods - love found and love lost, giving this album a unique, breathy and intimate experience for listeners.

REVIEW
Connor 's smooth, velvety voice, with its shallow vibrato, was ideally suited for such favored cool-era songs as 'Stella By Starlight,' 'Gone With The Wind' and 'Cottage For Sale.' Her tasteful versions are exquisitely expressive, while reflecting at the same time the emotional control that typified the 'cool' style. Her sensitive reading of Billy Strayhorn's forlorn 'Lush Life' is a high point. --Cadence Magazine

As for this release, it is a mixture of ballads and up-tempo swingers, starting with Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life" which gives Connor a chance to show off her full control of ballad lines and that is again exemplified on "Cottage For Sale". When she tackles the upbeat numbers such as "Out Of This World", "Stella By Starlight" and "Gone With The Wind" she does so persuasively with taste, panache, and a bright appreciativeness of the lyrics. --Pierre Giroux, Audiophile Edition
