CD Reviews

The "wonder" of Anita Ellis!

Jett McRae | United States | 04/19/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I am glad that the Collectables Jazz label has re-released some of Anita Ellis's 50's LPs onto CD. She has been forgotten, but was one of the greatest jazz vocalists in the 50's, and enjoyed a short renaissance in the 70's. Now is the time that anyone who loves terrific singing to discover this exceptional vocalist. This is an intriguing "concept" album which explores the wonder of falling in love and evolves into the disillusionment of a broken love affair. There are spoken passages between the songs explaining the character's feelings about the relationship. She starts from the heights of "If I Had a Ribbon Bow" and "Wait Till You See Him", then moves into the bittersweet as the relationship starts to unravel with "I Ain't Got No Shame" and "Roller Coaster Blues". Finally the woman is through with love and she looks for "Something To Live For" and "I Wonder Whatever Became of Me". This is a wonderful CD from a phenomenal talent. I can't recommend Anita Ellis enough to anyone who loves jazz vocals!"

"This album is a breathtaking example of jazz as fine art. Ellis' voice is in top form and her reading of the lyrics gives them new meaning. "Roller Coaster Blues" and "Four Walls and One Dirty Window" are mind blowing examples of the convergence of great artistic elements: lyric, music, orchestration and voice."

A True Original and Overlooked Genius

Neil V. Cohen | Phoenix, AZ USA | 07/14/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Anita Ellis has one of those gorgeous, stirring voices you never hear these days. This album contains a wonderful collection of songs that showcase her talents very well. It's definitely a product of the 50's with a slightly goofy, kitschy feeling to it--Still her amazing voice proves why she was chosen to sing "Put the Blame on Mame" for Rita Hayworth in Gilda. It's sublime!"
