This Is New... Teddi King Sings Ira Gershwin
"She sings her songs... as if she had lived inside each one - as if, indeed, she had written each one." --Whitney Balliet, The New Yorker"Released in 1978 this historic album is finally available on CD. Any album with Teddi is an event. This one is no exception... Dave McKenna is the featured pianist. He does it all. "Fun To Be Fooled" is swung verse and all. You've never heard such an easygoing delightful take. The title song (Weill) is sung with great reverence. It's a flawless emotional uncommon vocal performance. Just wait till you hear "But Not For Me," a song Ira wrote with his brother George in 1930. On it Ms. King travels the entire musical scale. She sings out, gets under, then over this well-known classic. You owe it to yourself to grab this one before it's long gone. It should remain in the catalogue forever." ---Dan Singer, "In Tune International," May 2009
