Carol Sings

Originally released by Progressive, this album is quite definitive. After 15 years of neglect, the appealing jazz singer began to emerge on records again in 1977. On her effort, performs ten superior songs, which range from swing standards such as and "Prelude to a Kiss" to lesser-known numbers such as a pair of - collaborations ("Morning Star" and "Frasier the Sensuous Lion"), "Checkered Hat" and "An Older Man Is Like an Elegant Wine." The singer is ably assisted by pianist (who also arranged the tunes), tenor saxophonist , altoist (who guests on his composition), bassist and drummer . Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
