For the First Time...
The enchanting Shelley Moore was an English vocalist with afirm orientation towards jazz, and some rare, unquestionably appealingqualities as a singer. She was born in Essex, England, and through the 1950sshe performed in nightclubs, for the American troops, and on British televisionand radio, which led to several singles. After touring the US with Englishbandleader Vic Lewis, she began singing with the Ray McKinley band, to move tothe states formally in 1960. It only took a year for Ms. Moore to record herfirst album in Los Angeles—"For the First Time." Vocally, the albumshowcases her light, almost wistful quality, while instrumentally, the meritlies in the Ramsey Lewis group fitting Shelley Moore’s bent admirably, as wellas in the individual instrumental performances, all of uniform quality.
First Time Out
Ann Williams (1928-2007) was a supper-club singer whosevocal talent enabled her to blend equally well jazz and pop repertoire. In 1960she recorded her only album "First Time Out," where she sings cleanlyand her diction and phrasing were precise, demonstrating as well a good rangeand a comfortable posture at either up or slow tempo. Jimmy Jones’ arrangementsare very good ones of their type. They never get in the way of Miss Williamsand give her attractive and airy backgrounds with some particularly good solospots from Clark Terry, Frank Williams, Barry Galbraith and Seldon Powell.
