Like a long iced drink or a brisk sea breeze, these
songs by June Christy are welcome refreshment — with a smooth coolness that, musically speaking, denotes something modern, deft, imaginative. The cool and casual air may be a bit deceptive, though — such polished performances are really the product of hard work and much talent. From Decatur, Illinois, where she was born, to Europe and Hollywood and wherever else she's appeared with the Stan Kenton band, June has conscientiously learned most of what there is to know about how to delight an audience. Now, in this album, you hear her as she comes into her own, vocalizing in a sleek, smoothly turned style — a topflight artist singing with an easy lift, in an intriguing way that's quite as desirable as something cool on a warm summer's day. |
