I always feel a wave of sadness when I hear this album because it was the Ann's last stand. I picked up the Jasmine release of her debut album (I'm Shooting High) in the mid-ninties and was totally blown away by her voice. I hadn't been that impressed since I'd discovered Anita O'Day. I wanted to know just who was this lady with the powerhouse chops. I probed around for months posting questions on numerous jazz websites until a gentlemen that had known her stepped forward and told me of the tragic downward spiral her life had taken post Stan Kenton. If you get the chance, check out Ann's catalog of work. You'll be amazed.
