Mildred Anderson • No More In Life

Review by Scott Yanow
A fine singer who came over from the R&B/blues field to record two jazz-oriented albums in 1960, Mildred Anderson is joined on this CD reissue by tenor-saxophonist Al Sears, organist Robert Banks, guitarist Lord Westbrook, bassist Leonard Gaskin and drummer Bobby Donaldson. The repertoire ranges from originals to "I Ain't Mad at You," "Roll 'Em Pete" and "That Ole Devil Called Love." Considering how well she sings on this set, it is strange that Mildred Anderson would have no further opportunities to lead her own albums.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Mildred Anderson, una excelente cantante que vino del campo del R&B/blues para grabar dos álbumes orientados al jazz en 1960, está acompañada en esta reedición del CD por el tenor-saxofonista Al Sears, el organista Robert Banks, el guitarrista Lord Westbrook, el bajista Leonard Gaskin y el baterista Bobby Donaldson. El repertorio abarca desde originales hasta "I Ain't Mad at You", "Roll 'Em Pete" y "That Ole Devil Called Love". Teniendo en cuenta lo bien que canta en este conjunto, es extraño que Mildred Anderson no tuviera más oportunidades de liderar sus propios álbumes.
