the voice of Mary Stallings to ease into the sultry Henry Mancini/Norman Gim....
Album: Live at the Village Vanguard
Label: MAXJAZZ
Haunting percussion, followed by Eric Reed's sparse piano intro, sets the mood for the voice of Mary Stallings to ease into the sultry Henry Mancini/Norman Gimbel tune "Slow, Hot Wind." This 2001 live recording captures Stallings on stage in the second stage of her jazz singing career. As a young woman, she toured extensively with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Ella Fitzgerald. Stallings eventually moved away from her music career to spend time just living her life. Years later, Gillespie convinced her to begin singing again, and she's been doing so ever since.
