Review: A few of you might dismiss this as "real" jazz. Afterall, the way June Christy looks on the cover, singing about getting some fresh air?! This can't be jazzy at all! Everyone I meet has a different conception on what Jazz really is (I mean plainfolk, people who never really cared too much for it or are casual listeners). Some think it's just pretty or nice singers crooning over a soft ballad. Others imagine a group of men hammering free jazz in a velvet club. Fortunately, "Jazz" can incorporate all these things, letting me post stuff like this. While the instrumentation might sound like the typical Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra easy-listening spiel, Christy has a voice that is quite powerful within the range she sings, but a bit playful still, and such a wonderful vibrato! Despite the cover, this is only for the record Gone For The Day, not the double release of the cover.
