What is this? Is that photo one of the performer? 

I know that it says “experimental, baroque”, 
but that really is the closest one can get
when it comes to a description. I’m actually
including it in a set of something close to
obscure ”avant-folk” for the Aug. 9 radio show.

She died of Covid right near the start of it
in March of 2020. Guardian has an obit
(they messed up the accent on the “e” -
it should be grave rather than acute).
Also, the obituary was written by a guy
who actually died over two years before
she did (!).

Most of my Ella and vocal groups are on LP, so I was limited to what I had digitally. 

Setting aside your legitimate complaint, what do you think of the song selection?  I am going for noirish, world-weary, pulpish lyrics, capturing the mid-20th-century mood of urban isolation, with Cainesque, Chandleresque language.  Here is the thread I started a while back:

 

I'm sorry  I cant help you on this topic or make suggestions  because  I'm mostly  collecting instrumental music and only a few favorite vocals (Louis & Ella) & the Frosh, Hi-Los & Singers Unlimited + Frank naturally. Many of your Sinatra songs are here in the  FS collection my late wife left me.

Chet Baker “Sings and Plays music from the film Let’s Get Lost” Sony k2HD cd

19e958c4f25bcd9193f6919c7b7624593ae6de18

This is one of the best sounding discs I own and the music is wonderful. Again, perfect for this beautiful cool summer morning.

 

I like this album, too - a nice "by-product" of Bruce Webers excellent 1988 documentary. Besides: The cover is one of the rare pics where the late Chet really looks like a cool cat!
