Ethel Ennis: Sings Lullabies For Losers / Change Of Scenery / Have You Forgotten? | CD, Fresh Sound

Description

Ethel Ennis’ acclaimed 1955 debut album, “Sings Lullabies For Losers”, spread her fame beyond the small East Coast club circuit and her hometown following in Baltimore. Made with a heavyweight jazz quartet that included pianist Hank Jones and drummer Kenny Clarke, it signaled the emergence of a major singing talent.

She moved to Capitol, with which she made her next two albums, “Change of the Scenery” and “Have You Forgotten”. For these the label wheeled out the big guns – Neal Hefti arranged and conducted the orchestra for the first, while on the second she sings in front of three different backgrounds – a large string section, a full brass section and a rhythm section plus vibes and guitar, conducted and arranged by Sid Feller.
