Synopsis

Product Description
He was the only vocalist to tour with Charlie Parker. The first white vocalist to tour with Lionel Hampton s Orchestra. And he recorded the first vocal version of Thelonious Monk s Round Midnight . But Jackie Paris never quite broke through to wide commercial success, victim of bad timing (his career began in the mid- 50s just as rock n roll took off) and, like many other great talents who stood behind the mic, personal difficulties. This 1958 album features Jackie tackling (or, more accurately, caressing) the Great American Songbook, displaying copious crossover pop potential which, again, makes one wonder why he isn t more widely known. One of the great lost jazz singers at his best, a Collectors Choice Music exclusive!
