ANITA ELLIS - Look To The Rainbow (1977-2000) FLAC (tracks), lossless

A superior cabaret singer whose stage fright kept her from appearing in public that often, Anita Ellis was 57 when she taped two of Alec Wilder's radio shows in 1977. It is from those programs that these previously unreleased performances are drawn. Ellis is particularly wonderful on ballads and her voice is strong, quite expressive and very appealing. Many of the songs are by Burton Lane or the team of Van Heusen and Burke with a few other favorites tossed in. The accompaniment by pianist Loonis McGlohon's rhythm section is tasteful and very sympathetic, and Anita Ellis sings quite beautifully throughout the extended set, doing great justice to the lyrics. by Scott Yanow

BARBARA LEA — The Evil is Afraid of Music (1977-1997) Two Version | FLAC (image+.tracks+.cue), lossless

Willard Robison was one of the more underrated songwriters, whose wistful melodies, unexpected chord changes, and nostalgic lyrics (which often yearned for a earlier simpler time) were actually quite charming. On this CD reissue, singer Barbara Lea is joined by a rhythm section headed by pianist Loonis McGlohon in 1976 (clarinetist Bob Mitchell sits in on one song), and on five equally rewarding numbers recorded in 1992 with pianist Dick Cary, guitarist Dave Koonse, and bassist Putter Smith. (The latter were recorded so as to bolster the playing time of the CD.) Lea, whose basic and lightly swinging style perfectly fits this music, performs such numbers as "Think Well of Me," "Guess I'll Go Back Home," "Deep Elm," "A Woman Alone with the Blues," and Robison's three best-known songs: "A Cottage for Sale," "'Tain't So, Honey, 'Tain't So," and "Old Folks." A perfect project. Scott Yanow
