Description:
West Of The Moon, recorded in 1956, was the first of two albums she made for RCA Victor. And here she is fittingly paired with arranger Ralph Burns whose richly voiced orchestrations are ideal for her style and delivery. Burns uses an octet, a scaled down 12 piece big band and an ensemble with two woodwinds and a string quartet on this projects. Coupled with ideal song selection, the results are superb and include classic renditions of "Who Can I Turn To Now," "Moonstruck," "East Of The Sun" and "Can't Get Out Of This Mood." Added to the original album are two selections "Stars Fell On Alabama" and "Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?" made earlier the same year for a Dave Garroway project, arranged by Deane Kincaide for an all star octet. |
