Solitaire Miles - Lush Life ft Johnny Frigo & Joe Vito

by Susie Blue and the Lonesome Fellas

/

about

Here's a bit of Chicago Jazz history for you... I recently got this remix of "Lush Life" which I recorded in 1995 with swing violinist Johnny Frigo and pianist Joe Vito. It was recorded on 1 inch tape at Southport Records and I had the reel, after all of these years, finally transferred to digital and had it remixed and remastered by Steve Yates. For the past 24 years I have been lugging around these huge 1 inch reel tapes :)
Anyhow it was my first jazz album and it featured Johnny and Joe, along with other great Chicago musicians including Von Freeman and Willie Pickens.
This track was recorded by Joanie Pallatto, and there was NO AUTOTUNE back then, not at Southport at least, so this is my honest vocal with no tuning and no dubs. I was a student at the DePaul school of music at the time and this was my very first jazz track .... just as we recorded it, and I hope you enjoy!
Michael Raynor is playing drums and John Whitfield was on bass.
