Vocalist
Anne Phillips may not be a familiar name to many jazz fans, though since
she began her professional career in the early 1960s as a member of the
Ray Charles Singers on the Perry Como Show, she has worked in many
musical formats as a singer, composer, arranger, conductor and producer.
This project was a special labor of love, as she recruited a number of
old friends that she met along the way and recruited them to appear on
one track apiece with her. Her engaging vocal duet with Bob Dorough (who
complements their vocals with some lively piano) of his "I've Got Just
About Everything" is a playful affair. Phillips lays a bit behind the
beat effectively in spots in Dave Brubeck's loping treatment of his
timeless "In Your Own Sweet Way," while she captures the nostalgic magic
of pianist Dave Frishberg's lyrics in his ballad (with music by Johnny
Mandel) "You Are There." Marian McPartland is on hand for her haunting
ballad "In the Days of Our Love," with Phillips bringing out the essence
of Peggy Lee's lyrics. Phillips' duet with tenor saxophonist Bob
Kindred (her husband) of "Embraceable You" is full of humor, as is
"Double Talk" a duet with organist Larry Goldings that has a campy lyric
in the style of Annie Ross. There's never a dull moment in this
delightful musical scrapbook. by Ken Dryden
