Music reviews of This Is Ethel Ennis
Music Review: OUTSTANDING ETHEL ENNIS COLLECTION!
Rating: 5 Stars
The advent of rock `n roll during the mid-50's did much to eclipse the deserved fame and popularity of a dearth of female vocalists who would otherwise have been high profile entertainers. Although Ethel Ennis is revered by fellow musicians; once recognised by Sinatra as "my kind of singer" and lauded by Ella Fitzgerald as "the best singer of her generation" she never achieved Chart hits nor topped the lists of outstanding jazz vocalists with the record-buying public. Nevertheless, Ethel was chosen by Benny Goodman as singer with his all-star band and received exposure on US television's ARTHUR GODFREY SHOW as well as appearing at the 1964 Newport Jazz Festival. However, somehow labelled as a reluctant star, she eventually chose to return to her native Baltimore after recording for various record labels.
In the circumstances, this classy UK reissued 1963 RCA album is a welcome pleasure that showcases Ethel's warm and diverse vocal style, with a mixture of Broadway show songs like SHE LOVES ME, NOBODY TOLD ME, JOEY, JOEY, JOEY, and WHO WILL BUY? plus standards AS YOU DESIRE ME and THE MOON WAS YELLOW; all brassily orchestrated and framed by conductor/arranger, Sid Bass. Each number is a joy to listen to and applaud, with the ten bonus tracks being released singles from the same period, with MATCHMAKER, MATCHMAKER (from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF) and the then current bossa- nova favourite THE BOY FROM IPANEMA, ahead of the more pop-orientated numbers intended for US Chart appeal.
With Ethel's albums currently difficult to obtain on CD, this wonderful compilation must be viewed as a treasured gift and I recommend it as a "must have" to those who collect albums by superior girl singers and those who generally appreciate vocal jazz finesse.

Description of This Is Ethel Ennis
2007 reissue of this album from the Baltimore native, originally released on RCA in 1958. In her heyday, the critics hailed as "the most accomplished singer performing today." That stature was earned by her magnificent voice, her brilliant compositions, her joyful performances and her collaboration with the finest musicians. Ethel Ennis first won national recognition for her recording 'Lullaby For Losers' in 1955. In 1958, Benny Goodman chose her as the female vocalist for the all-star band that he took to Europe for the Brussel's World Fair. This Is Ethel Ennis is highly indicative of the taste, originality and selectivity that went into her choice of songs. Poker.Broadway & Vocalists CDs
