I would pass. Try Gogi Grant (w/Johnny Madel) instead. It's the charts that salvage this one, And Gogi keeps her head above water.

It was in all the stores. RSO, the saame label as the BeeGees. Nobody I knew cared about it, though.

The passing of Connie Francis' reminds me of an oddity in her discography: A question to those with esoteric (or should I say "wide-ranging"? ) enough tastes to be able to reply to the following: Is anyone among the forumists familiar with this CD by Connie? https://www.discogs.com/de/release/2521147-Connie-Francis-Connie-Francis-In-New-York Any opinions on what the music would be like? (I.e. jazz vocalist-wise, not that I have undue expectations on out-and-out hipness, but some adequate dose of swing throughout would be appreciated.)   Some time last year I saw this CD in the "1 EUR" sale bins at my favorite local brick-and-mortar store. However, having already picked several other "finds" from those crates that day, being unfamiliar with the leader name of the backing orchestra,  and unsure abut how "jazzy" her singing is on these tracks after all, I let it sit there and haven't checked that corner of the bins since.  Did I make a mistake (though ... at 1 EUR you cannot really go wrong)? Or is this nothing to write home about even in the "pop jazz" field of that era?      

Great, I'll get back in the flow next year.  It is a busy time.
