ANITA ELLIS - Hims (1957-2001) FLAC (tracks), lossless

Cabaret vocalist Anita Ellis recorded Him for the Epic label between 1957 and 1958. The 12-track program consists of standards, including "I'm Just Wild About Harry," "Clap Hands (Here Comes Charley)," "Danny Boy," and "Porgy."

ANITA ELLIS - Look To The Rainbow (1977-2000) FLAC (tracks), lossless

A superior cabaret singer whose stage fright kept her from appearing in public that often, Anita Ellis was 57 when she taped two of Alec Wilder's radio shows in 1977. It is from those programs that these previously unreleased performances are drawn. Ellis is particularly wonderful on ballads and her voice is strong, quite expressive and very appealing. Many of the songs are by Burton Lane or the team of Van Heusen and Burke with a few other favorites tossed in. The accompaniment by pianist Loonis McGlohon's rhythm section is tasteful and very sympathetic, and Anita Ellis sings quite beautifully throughout the extended set, doing great justice to the lyrics. by Scott Yanow
