Runnin Wild (CD)

2009 collection. Ernestine Anderson is a singer of major stature. Her qualities are many and varied and she’s truly a singer of a major caliber. Her voice is full and expressive, her phrasing smooth, and her ability to improvise in good taste around a melody places her high on a creative level. This release features two original albums: 1956’s Hot Cargo, which helped to launch her career, and 1958’s self titled release, which was Ernestine’s first full length U.S. recording session. Includes one of the great old Jazz tunes, ‘Runnin’ Wild’ plus ‘Azure Te’, ‘Mad About the Boy’, ‘Autumn in New York’ and many more. 23 tracks. Jasmine.
