Ann Richards

Another great voice that I have not heard before....well worth a listen if you haven't heard of her great jazz voice !!....definately a 100*** (Star) recommendation

 Ann Richards, an excellent singer who was married to Stan Kenton for a few years, only recorded a few solo albums before slipping away into obscurity. Ann, Man! is her most intimate date, a quartet set with trumpeter Jack Sheldon, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Red Callender, and drummer Larry Bunker. Four of the songs (including "There's a Lull in My Life" and "You Go to My Head") are duets with Kessel. Richards shows off her versatility and sensitivity on this well-rounded set, swinging lightly and singing with restrained emotions. It is a pity that she did not have a prosperous career, for the talent was definitely there

 Richards committed suicide on April 1, 1982 in Hollywood, dying at age 46 from a gunshot wound.......

Shame about that !....what a waste of talent !!
