Nancy Wilson - Live at McCabes Guitar Shop - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Nancy Wilson is one of the finest vocalists to emerge in the post-war era to take over the mantle of great jazz, cabaret and pop singers such as Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee, and compete with them on their own terms. Achieving her early recognition in the era when the long-playing stereo album was becoming a universal , she was always primarily an album artist, especially with her focus being as much on jazz and easy listening as the pure pop market, although she had chart success in the pop, R&B and adult contemporary markets from the '60s through to the '90s. This collection takes a thorough look at the formative years of her career, comprising as it does her complete performances on five LPs - InchLike In LoveInch, recorded in 1956 when she was just 19, InchSomething WonderfulInch, InchThe Swinging's MutualInch with jazz pianist George Shearing, the equally jazz-oriented InchNancy Wilson With Cannonball AdderleyInch, and InchHello Young LoversInch. In addition, it includes an early single with R&B artist Rusty Bryant, two of her singles from 1960 and a couple of very jazzy 'live' performances from 1961. It showcases the breadth and distinctiveness of her talent, and her sophisticated artistry even in these early days, as she delivers material across the jazz, blues and pop spectrum Album Tracks 1.
