Mildred Anderson • No More In Life

Review by Scott Yanow
A fine singer who came over from the R&B/blues field to record two jazz-oriented albums in 1960, Mildred Anderson is joined on this CD reissue by tenor-saxophonist Al Sears, organist Robert Banks, guitarist Lord Westbrook, bassist Leonard Gaskin and drummer Bobby Donaldson. The repertoire ranges from originals to "I Ain't Mad at You," "Roll 'Em Pete" and "That Ole Devil Called Love." Considering how well she sings on this set, it is strange that Mildred Anderson would have no further opportunities to lead her own albums.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Mildred Anderson, una excelente cantante que vino del campo del R&B/blues para grabar dos álbumes orientados al jazz en 1960, está acompañada en esta reedición del CD por el tenor-saxofonista Al Sears, el organista Robert Banks, el guitarrista Lord Westbrook, el bajista Leonard Gaskin y el baterista Bobby Donaldson. El repertorio abarca desde originales hasta "I Ain't Mad at You", "Roll 'Em Pete" y "That Ole Devil Called Love". Teniendo en cuenta lo bien que canta en este conjunto, es extraño que Mildred Anderson no tuviera más oportunidades de liderar sus propios álbumes.

Mildred Anderson • Person To Person

Review

Mildred Anderson, who recorded with organist Bill Doggett as early as 1953, only made two albums as a leader and, although thought of as as being in the R&B/blues field, both records have some notable jazz players supporting her. For this CD reissue, Anderson is joined by tenor-saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, organist Shirley Scott, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Arthur Edgehill for such songs as "Hello Little Boy," "Person to Person" and "Kidney Stew Blues" (the latter two tunes were associated with Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson). Despite being rather brief (just 31 minutes), this set is worth checking out if quite obscure.

Reseña

Mildred Anderson, que grabó con el organista Bill Doggett ya en 1953, sólo hizo dos álbumes como líder y, aunque se considera que está en el campo del R&B/blues, ambos discos cuentan con el apoyo de notables músicos de jazz. Para esta reedición del CD, Anderson está acompañada por el tenor y saxofonista Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, la organista Shirley Scott, el bajista George Duvivier y el baterista Arthur Edgehill para canciones como "Hello Little Boy", "Person to Person" y "Kidney Stew Blues" (estos dos últimos temas se asociaron con Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson). A pesar de ser bastante breve (sólo 31 minutos), vale la pena revisar este set si es bastante oscuro.
