High Fidelity Magazine once ran a piece on why Patti Page would never be considered a great American popular singer. But "In The Land of Hi-Fi" and her other two jazz albums demonstrate she was, indeed, much more than a lady who could turn out hit records as fast as you could turn out pancakes. With June Christy's arranger, Pete Rugolo, overseeing the orchestrations, Patti Page turns out to be a nimble, persuasive, inventive and witty artist who can navigate the most tricky musical map. This album is warm, entertaining, surprising and short (barely a half hour) and certainly has stood the test of time. If you'd never heard "Doggie In The Window" you'd think this is one of the great jazz singers. By the way, the musicians who worked on these dates were surprised to find Patti Page a very hip lady, extremely pleasant to work with and very up on what she needed to do here--plus she wore eyeglasses and smoked! ~Jim Andrews
