Anita Harris is known as an all-round entertainer, singing, acting, and dancing all part of her repertoire. Sharing musical arranger Kenny Clayton with Petula Clark, her clear vocal quality invited comparisons with Clark and other top female singers from the mid- to late '50s. She was born on June 3, 1942, in Midsomer Norton, Somerset, and began her show business career as soon as she had left school, traveling to Las Vegas to train in choreographed skating. Her first professional engagement, however, was a singer with the easy listening vocal ensemble the Cliff Adams Singers, who enjoyed an extended run on BBC radio with the program Sing Something Simple, a selection of mainly MOR ballads and show tunes that ran from 1959 through to the death of its creator, Cliff Adams, in 2001. She made her debut on record backed by the John Barry Seven, but the single, a double A-side of "I Haven't Got You" and "Mr One And Only," was not a success. Moving into acting, she became famous for very cheeky performances in two of the Carry On films, particularly Carry on Doctor and Follow That Camel, both from 1967. This was her peak year for chart activity too as her friend Dusty Springfield provided her with a hit single written by her brother Tom, "Just Loving You," which peaked at number six. Two further singles were released, both cover versions of the songs "Anniversary Waltz" and "Dream a Little Dream of Me." Her one and only visit to the album charts was with the album also called Just Loving You, which hit number 29 early in 1968. In the 1970s, she appeared on various television programs, including The Morecambe & Wise Show, and she also co-hosted the David Nixon Magic Show and was still appearing as herself on programs up to 2001, notably Boom Boom: The Best of the Original Basil Brush Show, French & Saunders, and Bob Monkhouse: A BAFTA Tribute. ~ Sharon Mawer https://www.allmusic.com/artist/anita-harris-mn0000574671/biography

Ramsey Lewis Trio - Never On Sunday

Time: 29:46
Size: 69,8 MB
Art: Front

(2:00)  1. The Ripper
(3:40)  2. I Got Plenty of Nothing
(3:02)  3. Waterboy
(3:35)  4. Thanks for the Memory
(2:37)  5. Cielito Lindo

(4:10)  8. You've Changed
(2:36)  9. The Breeze and I
(2:38) 10. Exactly Like You

The playing time on this LP (under half an hour) means that the ten selections are a bit briefer than usual. Pianist Ramsey Lewis, bassist Eldee Young, and drummer Red Holt had one of the most popular groups in jazz of the era, playing soulful and melodic versions of standards that were both swinging and accessible. Highlights of this LP include "I Got Plenty of Nothing," "The Breeze and I," and "Exactly Like You." ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/never-on-sunday-mw0000471478

Personnel:  Ramsey Lewis - piano; El Dee Young - bass; Issac "Red" Holt - drums

Gil Evans - Paris Blues

Styles: Piano Jazz
Year: 2001
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 59:55

( 7:11)  1. Reincarnation Of A Lovebird
( 5:23)  2. Paris Blues
( 9:11)  3. Esteem
(14:38)  4. Orange Was The Color Of Her Dress Then Blue Silk
( 8:47)  5. Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
( 5:47)  6. Jelly Roll
( 8:55)  7. Esteem

Recorded just three months before arranger/pianist Gil Evans's death, this duet album teams Evans with the great soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy. In truth, Evans's playing here is generally little more than melody statements and comping behind Lacy and, although the soprano is in top form, little of significance occurs. The duo performs lengthy versions of three Charles Mingus tunes, Duke Ellington's "Paris Blues" and Lacy's "Esteem." Evans was never a masterful keyboardist and clearly was not in Lacy's league as a player, so this CD is of greater interest from a historical standpoint than musical. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/paris-blues-mw0000195937

Personnel:  Gil Evans - piano, electric piano; Steve Lacy - soprano saxophone
