Mary Stallings - Don't Look Back [CD]

Recorded fresh from a series of performances at New York's prestigious venue Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, Mary Stallings' 2012 Highnote title places her firmly in the pantheon of great female jazz singers of this, or any other time. Since her first release in 2010, Mary was the honoree at the 2011 SF Jazz Gala, the Tanglewood Jazz Festival in Lenox, MA as well as countless jazz clubs and rooms on both coasts. Here, together with music director and pianist Eric Reed, Mary lends her sultry and swinging voice to a dozen selections and shows why she is no longer jazz's best-kept secret.
