Description: PAT THOMAS JAZZ PATTERS & BARBARA LONG SOUL 2 LP ON 1 CD) The Best Voices Time Forgot Collectible Albums by Top Female Vocalists · Collector's Edition · 2 Original LPs on 1 CD · Original Cover Art, Liner Notes · Complete Personnel Details · Stereo Recordings · Newly Remastered in 24-Bit Jazz Patterns: Pat Thomas (1938-1992) was born and raised in Chicago, and even before she turned eighteen, she was already the most sought-after singer by local and visiting musicians, who all valued her way of handling lyrics. Her instrumental approach to singing, warm vocal sound, impeccable intonation, along with an unaffectedly sincere feel for the blues, earned her a chance to record her album Jazz Patterns in 1960, an excellent debut effort with a first-rate accompaniment. Backing her, we can hear, alternately, Kenny Burrell, Tommy Flanagan, Curtis Fuller, and Booker Little, among other great jazz names, who not only supported the fresh, modern voice of Pat Thomas, but also contributed to keep the swing alive with their own exciting solos. Soul: Also a native Chicagoan, Barbara Long’s career as a jazz singer began in 1953 —at twenty— when she joined tenorman Johnny Griffin’s trio at Chicago’s Cotton Club. She was essentially a small group singer in the tradition of Billie Holiday and the early Sarah Vaughan. She went to New York in 1959, and got a chance to record her first and only album, simply titled Soul. She had the backing of a quintet led by arranger and trumpeter Billy Howell, which included one of the brightest new tenor saxophone stars at the time, the fiercely rhythmic Booker Ervin. The rhythm section —Nat Phipps, piano; George Tucker, bass; and Al Harewood, drums— sounds tight, while Barbara Long’s pithy, faintly hoarse, intimately bluesy voice blends with the swing of the quintet like a sixth instrument. 01.
