Julie London - Julie Is Her Name (Green Vinyl)

£20.00

Product Description

-

Both a successful singer and actress, Julie London was a truly legendary figure. While her work as an actress would precede and have greater longevity than her career as a vocalist, it was not until she released her debut album Julie Is Her Name, that London truly became a household name. No one could have imagined the album's success considering that it was the first

LP of a still relatively unknown singer, and only featured guitar and bass. JULIE LONDON, vocals BARNEY KESSEL, guitar RAY LEATHERWOOD, bass Los Angeles, July 1955. *BONUS TRACKS: Julie London (vc), Howard Roberts (g), Red Mitchell (b). Hollywood, California, July 1958.

New Land are proud to present the first multi-disc box set from one of the most overlooked artists in Jazz history: Dorothy Ashby. The six LPs contained within this lavish box set will give long overdue retrospection to her early works from 1957 to 1965, a period that found her represented by some of Jazz music’s most important record labels; Regent, Prestige, Jazzland, Argo and

Atlantic.  Albums ‘The Jazz Harpist’, ‘Hip Harp’ with Frank Wess, ‘In A Minor Groove’ with Frank Wess, ‘Soft Winds: The Swinging Harp Of Dorothy Ashby’, ‘Dorothy Ashby’ and ‘The Fantastic Harp Of Dorothy Ashby’ have been officially licensed with the full support of the Dorothy Ashby estate.  All albums were remastered, and lacquers cut, by the exceptional Kevin Gray directly from the original analogue tapes, except ‘The Jazz Harpist’ and ‘Dorothy Ashby’, from which the original tapes have unfortunately been lost.

Impassioned and deeply researched liner notes by Shannon J Effinger provide historical context to Dorothy’s life, offering the most in-depth piece of writing ever committed to print on Dorothy as well as interviews with those that knew her best.  Housed inside a deluxe bookshelf-style box with stunning silver foil detail.
