More than perhaps any other jazz vocalist the name 'Chris Connor' is mentioned with an almost mystical reverence. In Japan she is afforded something approaching cult-like status. And certainly, you don't stay in the public's hearts and minds for as long as Chris Connor has if you have nothing to say. Far from having nothing to say, Chris Connor seems to be able to say it in the space of a three-minute track. From her stints with Claude Thornhill and Stan Kenton, through her illustrious solo career, to her most recent appearances and recordings on HighNote, Chris brings a lifetime of experience to every song she sings, making it not just a track on a record, but a commentary on life itself.
