GA Russell Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 Twenty-five years ago I was in the habit of starting every new year with new (to me) albums by Julie London and Charlie Parker. So now I have just opened up Julie's Lonely Girl. Quote

Listened to it once and initial impressions are very positive. Not like her previous album except the writing comes across as having a depth and breadth not dissimilar to the big band disc. The quintet sounds bigger than it's five parts. I like the use of synthesiser This seems more about harmony than the rhythmic focus of the small group disc of the previous set. There's a very involved theoretical explanation of what's she did to create the music but it went way over my head. Well worth a listen but maybe not quite as original in sound, rather than approach, as all the theory suggests. Quote

felser Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 I have the individual albums, got this for the convenience of having all the hits in one place and the remastering. She had probably the strongest top 40 run (qualitywise) of any artist in the mid-60's. Quote
