Chris Connor - This Is Chris - Pure Pleasure LP

180g Mono Vinyl, Remastered by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Pressed at Pallas in Germany

This LP gathers singer Chris Connor's final recordings for Bethlehem before her move to Atlantic, backed by fine sidemen including Herbie Mann, pianist Ralph Sharon, guitarist Joe Puma, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Osie Johnson. The two-trombone team of J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding features prominently on four of the ten selections. Connor's cool tone and subtle, emotional delivery were perfect for the music of the 1950s, with highlights including "The Thrill Is Gone," "Blame It On My Youth," and "I Concentrate On You."
