Lazy Afternoon

The Many Mood Of Ann Richards

Orchestra Conducted by Ralph Carmichael, Bill Holman, Tak Shindo

Produced by Ed Yelin

Capitol Records T1406

1960

From Billboard - July 11, 1960: Thrush Ann Richards is strongly jazz-oriented. She seems to sense the mood of a song well and she makes good use of an improvisational technique in her phrases. Here, her moods range widely from the happy side ("I'm Gonna Laugh") to a soft offbeat mood ("Lazy Afternoon"). The backings range from Bill Holman's big band group to Tak Shindo's Oriental flavored combo to Ralph Carmichael's strings. Interesting listening.
