Chris Connor Sings Lullabys Of Birdland

Chris Connor
Sings Lullabys Of Birdland
Bethlehem Records BCP-6004

Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover art

Check out the cover image... Connor vocal style is soft and bluesy. I'm not sure what the marketing department was thinking when they selected this image for the jacket.

Connor is backed by the talented Ellis Larkins' Trio, Vinnie Burke's Quartet with Art Mardigan on drums and Sy Oliver's Orchestra. Mixing up the support musicians helps keep the sound fresh throughout the album.

Lullaby Of Birdland
What Is There To Say
Try A Little Tenderness
Spring Is Here
Why Shouldn't I
Ask Me
Blue Silhouette
Chiquita From Chi-Wah-Wah
A Cottage For Sale
How Long Has This Been Going On
Stella By Starlight
Gone With The Wind
He's Coming Home
Goodbye
