Not all that much was heard from
Chris Connor
after her last Atlantic record in 1962 until this date. Her recordings for FM, ABC-Paramount (quite commercial), Bainbridge and Japanese Sony in the interim were all quite obscure. But at the age of 50, she began to make a comeback and showed that her voice was still strong and her cool style intact. Accompanied by pianist
Michael Abene
, bassist
Michael Moore
, drummer
Ronnie Bedford
and
Jerry Dodgion
on alto and flute,
Connor
performs 11 diverse tunes, including remakes of a few earlier numbers. Highlights include
"Out of This World,"
"Where Flamingos Fly" and "When Sunny Gets Blue." ~ Scott Yanow
