Jane Bunnett's music always speaks to me with an core integrity that I find extremely rare in musicians who do the "culture-hopping" thing.

What do you think of it?  Bavan has never sounded "right" to me as a replacement for Annie Ross, but I've had limited exposure to the work with Bavan, and it may just be that my expectations were caught short by the differences in their styles.

There is not a whole lot of work with Bavan. I like it fine. . . it's another voice, another style than Ross, I can handle a different style injected in.

When Annie Ross fell ill during a stay in GB she stayed behind for health care/insurance reasons. Yolande Bavan was a short term replacement to fulfill the tour comitments and probably the only singer available on such short terms with the chops to handle the music. Pony Poindexter said in his memoirs that he thought she wasn't a jazz singer in his view and left soon after - there must have been some wild scat exchanges between LHR and him that unfortunately never were recorded. The MPS live album with Ross and Poindexter gives an idea of what they had been doing.

I like Bavan, too, but she and Ross are totally different vocal worlds.

Carol Sloane had subbed for Ross earlier - she would been a better choice.

I like Sloane also, and agree with your assessment, thanks.

I wish I could have heard that! 

I love Carol Sloane's singing, and I imagine she would've been an ideal replacement for Ross.
