As Billboard noted in December 1955 in a squib. Given the odd titles and range here, these were likely made to serve as demos, and Candoli was able to get her some press. The songs were 'S Wonderful backed by I Ain't Got Nothing But the Blues, and Global Blues backed by I Love a Parade. Lane did record two singles with Candoli in 1955 for Sunset Records. As Billboard noted in its December 1959 mention of the album, "Watch this girl, she has talent." Oddly, this was the only LP she recorded. Her singing voice on this album is deep, melodic, hip and upbeat, akin to Jo Stafford-though Lane's range was a little higher. The personnel included Candoli on trumpet, Barney Kessel on guitar, Johnny Williams and Jimmy Rowles on piano, Joe Mondragon on bass with Alvin Stoller, Larry Bunker, Milt Holland, Lou Singer, Ralph Hansell, Johnny Cyr and Gene Estes alternating on drums and a range of percussion instruments, including chimes, xylophone, vibraphone, bongos and tympani.īorn in Ireland (nee Coghlan), Lane was an American actress who was married to Candoli between 19. What makes it extra special is that the combo was arranged and conducted by Pete Candoli. The album was recorded in Hollywood in 1959.

In the past, I've raved about Betty Bennett, Doris Drew, Jane Fielding, Marcy Lutes, Mavis Rivers, Peggy Connelly, Thelma Gracen and Toni Harper.
By now I'm sure you know I dig obscure, dynamic female jazz vocalists who recorded in the 1950s.
