Beverly Kenney - Come, Swing With Me (Remastered) (2019) [Hi-Res]

Though a singer of uncommon emotional depth, Beverly Kenney could also cut loose with the best of them, and Come Swing with Me captures an effervescence and playfulness often absent from her later, more renowned sessions. Paired with arranger Ralph Burns, who likewise sidesteps his usual subtle refinement for a lighter, more lively approach, Kenney retains the thoughtful phrasing and sultry demeanor that are her signatures, but it's a pleasure to hear her tackle material like "You Make Me Feel So Young" and "You Go to My Head" with such unabashed gusto. [Originally released in 1956, the LP was reissued on an import-only Japanese CD in 2003.]

i first owned this album (on an LP) in the 50's when i lived in New York. When i got rid of my LP's, i looked everywhere for recordings by Beverly Kenney and could not find one anywhere. I am so thrilled to have this again. The CD was like new and the cover was the same as the LP. I think it's tragic that she is not produced in this country. She was so wonderful and her voice was so clear and pure. And I loved her phrasing and pronounciation of words. I am thrilled to have this recording again. Thank You!
