 | Pat Bowie: Out Of Sight/ Feelin' Good (CD: Jazz Beat)
The only two albums in singer Pat Bowie's discography, included here in their entirety and for the first time ever on CD : “Out of Sight!” (1964) and “Feelin’ Good!” (1965). On the earlier album, she is backed by Seldon Powell, Ray Bryant, Kenny Burrell, Milt Hinton & Osie Johnson; on the second by Charles Mcpherson, Tommy Flanagan, Al Hall & Osie Johnson.After such a promising start, Pat Bowie would never make another record, at least according to discographies. These two albums never really became classics, as such - but with the superb musicians present, and Bowie’sindividual approach there is much for the jazz enthusiast to enjoy here. (Discovery Records)

 | Lorez Alexandria: Alexandria The Great (CD: Impulse LPR)

Mildred Bailey: Mrs Swing (CD: Proper, 4 CDs)
Blessed with a light, clear, bell-like voice and a musician’s ear, coupled with excellent diction, Mildred Bailey could sing a song with such conviction and warmth, that she would make you, the listener, believe in it, no matter how superficial the actual message.

 | Astrud Gilberto: The Astrud Gilberto Album (CD: Verve)
Until the recording of this album, Astrud Gilberto had been almost exclusively associated with the great Stan Getz. She not only came to national attention as vocalist with Stan Getz on Ipanema, she spent the later part of 1964 playing night clubs and concerts with the Getz Quartet. With this album she proved her own individuality with the help of the brilliant arranger/conducter Marty Paich and her fellow country Antonio Carlos Jobim. (Verve Music Group)

Astrud Gilberto: Look To The Rainbow (CD: Verve)
Look to the Rainbow was Astrud Gilberto's third album for Verve. Gil Evans' superb arrangements proved to be the perfect setting for Astrud and this remains one of her most memorable recordings.Due to the short length of the original Look to the Rainbow album, we have added six songs from her fourth album for Verve called A Certain Smile, a Certain Sadness. This album was a collaboration with Brazilian organist Walter Wanderley, best known for his international instrumental hit Summer Samba. Astrud presents a vocal version of this same song here.

 | Astrud Gilberto & Walter Wanderley: A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness (CD: Verve)
Recorded in 1966 with the Walter Wanderley Trio, A CERTAIN SMILE, A CERTAIN SADNESS is possibly Astrud Gilberto's finest album. Brazilian organist Wanderley had worked with Astrud and her husband Joao Gilberto as an accompanist and arranger for years, so his trio-including bassist Jose Marino and drummer Claudio Slon-has an intuitive feel for Astrud's "desafinado" (deliberately off-pitch) vocal style.The trio's playing meshes perfectly with Astrud's vocals, especially on the perfect "Summer Samba (So Nice)," highlighted by an astonishing Wanderley solo pitched somewhere between jazz great Jimmy Smith and the Zombies' Rod Argent. Other gems include the two title tracks, the enormous hit single "Call Me," and an uncharacteristically peppy version of the standard "It's A Lovely Day Today." The CD reissue is digitally remastered and includes extensive liner notes. (Verve Music Group)

Chris Connor: Chris Craft (CD: Atlantic)
Influenced by Anita O'Day, this torchy, smoky singer, along with Julie London and June Christy, epitomised cool jazz singing in the 1950s.
