This review is from: All About Ronnie (Audio CD)
This is a compilation of Chris' work with the great Stan Kenton Orchestra and then her first solo tracks on Bethlehem before exploding into superstardom on Atlantic. This girl was a knockout from the start--I have airchecks with the Claude Thorhill orchestra and she's incredible even back then--and these early recordings retain their magic a half-century later. To hear her recording session tapes (no, not on the album my dears) is something--with all the commotion around her she is never less than rock-sure what she is doing though from take to take she may refashion a song totally. The musicians and producers who have worked with Chris inevitably comment on her laid-back, untemperamental, matter-of-fact personality in a field cluttered with phonies. This is a great collection.
