Her recording career boomed in the 1920s and her final records were made in 1934. However, being married to the producer Annette had her pick of the finest sidemen in the Big Apple including Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Lytell, Eddie Lang and a host of others. On this CD you'll find pianist Mark Shane, cornetist Ed Polcer, clarinetist Ken Peplowski, bassist Russell George, trombonist Tom Artin, guitarist Frank Vignola and drummer Danny D'Imperio. As an added bonus is reedman Dick Meldonian on four tracks. This young woman sings songs of the twenties and thirties with great sensitivity and respect.
Terry even makes the extra effort to sing the verse on several of the old favorites.
Very few singers do this anymore, at least since the days of the late Lee Wiley. The musicians really need little introduction to fans of classic jazz. Mark Shane is a fabulous pianist in the vintage genres and excels at the stride style. Mark is a permanent fixture and the duo often tour together. This is a recommended purchase for all classic jazz collectors.
