Acknowledged as the one of the most expressive voices injazz, singer Mary Ann McCall (1919-1994) worked with the finest jazzmen of hertime, including Tommy Dorsey (1938); Woody Herman (1939-41); and Charlie Barnet(1941-43). Then, semiretired for three years, she rejoined Herman from 1946 to1950, and also worked as a single. After that she worked with Charlie Venturathrough most of 1954 before, tiring of the music business, she returned to herNew Jersey home for a few years more.

She had, however, a sizable following since her Herman andVentura days. It led her to record Easy Living, her first LP, in 1956. Arrangedand conducted by Ernie Wilkins and featuring the cream of East Coast jazzmen,the album garnered a 4 1/2 star Down Beat review from Nat Hentoff, who praisedher horn-like jazz acumen and supple control.

A second album, Detour to the Moon, followed in 1958. Thealbum’s sessions were directed by Teddy Charles who said “the musicians on bothdates were gassed by the way she sang”. On her third and last album, MelancholyBaby, in 1959, her relaxed musicality created an aura of composure contrastingbeautifully with the variety of Johnny Richards’ colourful arrangements.
