Product Description
Personnel: Nancy Wilson (vocals); Hank Jones (piano); Gene Bertoncini (guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Grady Tate (drums).
Recorded in New York City on November 4-6, 1969. Includes liner notes by Will Friedwald.
Nancy Wilson has been on the fringes of jazz throughout her career, mostly performing middle-of-the-road pop and R&B. Most of her albums were major productions, but her 1969 effort, But Beautiful, is quite different. On a relaxed and tasteful program of ballads (including three previously unreleased numbers), Wilson sounds properly expressive and a bit influenced by Dinah Washington, while backed by a flawless rhythm section comprised of pianist Hank Jones, guitarist Gene Bertoncini, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Grady Tate. Her performances are straightforward, a little soulful, and very mindful of the melody and the lyrics. There is little of jazz interest here, but this is superior ballad singing and one of Wilson's finest recordings. ~ Scott Yanow
