Lucy (Lucille) Reed (1921-1998) began her singing career with Woody Herman in 1949. Later she joined Charlie Ventura’s big band and did some radio and TV work in Chicago. In 1951 she was chosen to represent Chicago in the Miss Television contest—she was regarded as a fine prospect by bookers and record people as the beautiful girl who had charmed listeners at the Chicago Streamliner and other local clubs during the early Fifties.
Her basic vocal quality was never strikingly full-ranged or tonally opulent, but her taste and musicianship were of such imaginative flexibility that she surpassed a many other nightclub singers more generously gifted by nature. Her skillful phrasing, based on her tender care for lyrics and her subtle beat, made her a singer of quiet distinction.
This set is valuable in many ways, mainly thanks to Lucy Reed’s ungimmicky, genuinely emotional singing, but also to the sympathetic backing of groups led by such jazz luminaries as Bill Evans, Dick Marx, George Russell, Gil Evans, and Eddie Higgins.
This is a collection of out-of-the-way melodies, done with distinction, fire and individuality by a singer who may have possessed too much innate “feel” for lyrics and honesty in delivery ever to have had a hit record, but who nevertheless won many enthusiastic listeners with these albums.
