CAROL SLOANE - Sweet & Slow (1993) FLAC (tracks), lossless

After too many years in obscurity or out of music altogether, Carol Sloane's renaissance began in 1988 with her first of two albums for the Contemporary label. This was succeeded by a long string of consistently enjoyable Concord releases, of which this was the second one. This time around, she is assisted by pianist Stefan Scaggiari, bassist John Lockwood, drummer Colin Bailey and, on four of the dozen numbers, Frank Wess on tenor and flute. Sloane pays tribute to Lee Wiley on "A Woman's Intuition" and sounds very close to Ella Fitzgerald on "Sweet and Slow"; she uplifts such numbers as Hoagy Carmichael's "One Morning In May," "Baubles Bangles and Beads," "An Older Man Is Like an Elegant Wine," and in a classic version, "I Got It Bad."
