A word to the wise: listening to Kitty White (1923-2009) isa unique experience. She was born in Los Angeles into a well-known musicalfamily, whose environment provided her with a solid background. The story ofKitty’s career is relatively uneventful, mostly because she chose to staypretty much on home base in Los Angeles, where she earned a steady and loyalfollowing as a pianist and singer in intimate night clubs, frequently singingsophisticated songs with well-traveled lyrics, entoured by groups featuringoutstanding west coast jazz musicians.

The two albums on this set were recorded in 1954 and 1962, andfor those of you who don’t know Kitty White yet, they are an excellentopportunity to be seduced by her remarkable, colorful, precise and imaginativevoice, one so personal that it almost defies comparison. Her diction, phrasingand control are a study in perfection. Accompanied only by harp and flute, orby guitar, flute and bass, she sings with warmth, soul and feeling for thelyrics, and is equally at ease with pop ballads, folk songs, spirituals, andblues. It is in this torchy, melancholic mood that Miss White handles herselfbest. As producer David Hubert put it, “Kitty White sings, purely and simply,in a clear, proud voice that seems to say, ‘this is the way I should beheard’.”
