  Annie Ross – Annie by Candlelight (10" LP) with the Tony Crombie 4-tet
Annie Ross is a jazz singer and actress and was born Annabelle Short in Mitcham, Surrey, England, the daughter of Scottish vaudevillian parents May Dalziel (n ée Allan) and Jack Short. She was raised in Los Angeles, California by her aunt, singer Ella Logan. Her brother was the entertainer Jimmy Logan. She was one of the early practitioners of a singing style known as vocalese, which involves the setting of original lyrics to an instrumental jazz solo. Her 1952 treatment of saxophonist Wardell Gray ’s “Twisted” is a classic example of vocalese. “Twisted” is perhaps her most famous song and has been recorded by Joni Mitchell, Bette Midler and many others. Her first album, Singin ’ and Swingin’ (1952) was recorded in New York with members of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Other albums include Skylark (1956), Sings A Song With Mulligan (1958) with baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker on trumpet, A Gasser! (1959) with Zoot Sims, In Hoagland (1981) with Georgie Fame and Hoagy Carmichael, and Music Is Forever (1995) featuring Tommy Flanagan on piano. This is one of her early recordings and also one the most sought after. It also features the Tony Crombie 4tet: Tony Crombie (piano); Roy Plummer (guitar); Bob Burns (clarinet) and Lennie Bush (bass).

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. Payment strictly by PayPal only. Postal discounts available for multiple purchases - Please email for details.  335 (GS 5.5 (335))
