Product Information
Etta Jones came to the public attention in the 1940s, but after she was revealed as a potentially important artist, nothing much happened commercially with her records. So, after a long period of obscurity, the arrival of Etta Jones in the LP best seller lists in 1961 was a stunning illustration of how suddenly an almost neglected artist could become a name vocalist with two albums: “So Warm” and “From the Heart.”
Miss Jones’ sense of drama was to lie about midway between Ethel Waters and Billie Holiday, but remained within hailing distance of Dinah Washington. That said, she was her own stylist. She had the ability to project a wide variety of moods, from anguish to exuberance. The arrangements on both albums, which include some handsome string writing, are by Oliver Nelson and were perhaps his most impressive achievement until then. Nelson had never written for strings before, and his only vocal-background arrangements had been for small combinations. “I wrote as though the voice were an instrument,” he said. Because of this, he took several chances and got away with them. Nelson gave Miss Jones some of the most complex accompanying lines to sing over ever confronting anyone.
Featuring: Etta Jones (vcl), with Orchestra Arranged & Conducted by Oliver Nelson, feat. Joe Wilder (tp), Jerry Dodgion, Oliver Nelson, Jerome Richardson (reeds), Mal Waldron (p), Wally Richardson (g), George Duvivier, Bob Bushnell (b), Charlie Persip (d)
