Annie Ross ‎- Live In London (2003)

This CD is a real treasure for jazz vocal enthusiasts, especially fans of Annie Ross. Harkit Records has issued 76 minutes from Ross's live 1965 performances at Annie's Room in London. Like many older recordings, especially those done outside of a studio, this won't win a prize for superb audio fidelity. But it does present standards like "Jumpin' at the Woodside," "Love for Sale," "I'm in the Mood for Love," "Soon It's Gonna Rain" and "Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home" at least as well as they'd sound if you were catching her act in a busy nightclub. Finding this much new Ross material from a period of her career when her voice was at its best is good news for all jazz fans. I've played it a dozen or more times in the last three months.
