	NPR's Jazz Profiles: Etta Jones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)

	Etta Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Etta Jones (November 25, 1928 – October 16, 2001) was an American jazz singer whose critical success and relative commercial obscurity (she never had a hit record) earned her a reputation in her lifetime as a "jazz musician's jazz singer".
		Jones is noted for her elegant interpretations of standards, ballads, and blues.
		Jones' recordings, particularly her debut record (Don't Go To Strangers, 1960), have earned wide admiration in a new generation of listeners.

	Jelly review: Etta Jones
		Etta Jones was a fine and soulful jazz singer who died just last year.
		Jones is often compared to Billie Holiday (who isn't?) and her final album, ironically released the day she died, was Etta Jones Sings Lady Day.
		Etta stretches the time a bit too far the first time through on this one and gets out of synch with the band, but it is still a fine version.

		Jones toured Japan with Art Blakey (1970), but was largely off record during 1966-1975.

	Etta Jones
		Etta moved up to RCA in late `47, but I had not really learned to appreciate ballads as much as blues.
		Roulette Records tried to break Etta Jones out of the jazz mould with Etta Jones Sings (24329) in 1965, a time when that operation seemed to be trying for major label status.
		After selling Muse, Joe started High Note and Etta Jones continued to have a home there from 1993 until her death last October of breats and lung cancer.

	Songbirds: Etta Jones
		Jones took a slightly different approach on each of her eight albums for Prestige, and living up to its title, From the Heart is particularly well-suited to her.
		The mix of tempos is superb (already by 1962 there was too much torching and wailing over lost love); Jones finds strength in moving on and letting go, and her enthusiasm for what lies ahead in her love life enables her to bring a bent of humor into the proceedings.
		Jones is in absolute control of her instrument here, with never an accidental-sounding note or a misplaced breath.

	Jazzmatazz Review - Etta Jones - The Prestige Singles and Etta Jones Sings Lady Day
		Jones does not seek to mimic Billie Holiday (although, when she pointedly does so late on the CD, she is a remarkable echo of her idol).
		Jones had her regular partner Houston Person, who is capable as a bluesman and can work the crowd, but his play seems conventional when placed against that of Prez.
		So the best evaluation is to say that this came from Jones’ heart, and much of her art as a jazz singer survives and is put to good use here.

	Welcome to the Jazz Depot
		Grammy Nominee Etta Jones stepped in front of the microphone again with a batch of tunes by the American songsmith Sammy Cahn under her arm.
		Along with her long-time friend and collaborator, Houston Person, Etta is backed by the sensitive piano of Norman Simmons, the guitar of Russell Malone and, adding a unique spectrum of color to the record, Tom Aalfs on violin and Steve Turre on trombone.
		Etta also offers the rarely-heard "Put 'em in a Box" and "Saturday Night is the Loneliest Night of the Week", a tune which once flooded the airwaves but now, inexplicably, is heard only occasionally.

	CD Review of Etta Jones - The Best Of - The Prestige Singles on Prestige @ jazzreview.com
		Etta Jones wasn’t as well known as her contemporaries; just the same she was a standout vocalist with the prowess and class of an Ella Fitzgerald.
		This woman was a very successful performer with a loyal fan base that supported her until her last days of performing; she succumbed to cancer in October of 2001.
		Etta’s accompaniment was ready to shift back and forth from the blues, jazz, and rhythm & blues as quickly as the tone of her voice changed during a song.

		Whether or not jazz singing is a dying art, a little piece of that world was lost last fall when Etta Jones passed away at age 73.
		The definition of what purists call a true jazz singer, she swung hard without going over the top, was warm without drifting into easy listening, and always took care to breathe life into lyrics.
		That’s something that could not be said of Jones, the consummate pro throughout her 60 years in the business.

		ETTA JONES SINGS LADY DAY was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album.
		With a career spanning half a century under her belt, Etta Jones` final album (she passed away in 2001) seems entirely fitting, a tribute to the great Billie Holiday.
		But she is no parrot, not by a long shot; as if to prove this point, on the final verse of "Fine And Mellow," Ms.

		Reached at his home in New York, the saxophonist and producer, who turns 71 in November, is polite and affable, yet seems to prefer letting his music speak for itself.
		Jones would receive Grammy nominations for My Buddy: Etta Jones Sings the Songs of Buddy Johnson and Etta Jones Sings Lady Day, both of which featured Person's rich tenor and production skills.
		Person does admit that making the 2004 tribute recording To Etta proved emotionally difficult, but that's pretty much all he says to say about the subject.

	CD Review of Etta Jones - The Best of Etta Jones: The Prestige Years on Prestige @ jazzreview.com
		Among classic women singers of jazz, Etta Jones came late to critical and popular acclaim.
		As collections go, this one is smartly put together; during the time of Jones’ greatest commercial success in the early 1960’s at Prestige the emphasis was not on full-length albums but on singles.
		Jones also had a healthy respect for a lyric; her taste in song choices leaned towards mid-to-slower tempo song-stories by Harold Arlen, the Gershwin Brothers, Cole Porter, and Sammy Cahn.

	Etta JONES Always in our hearts HighNote HCD 7124 : Jazz CD Reviews- 2004 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		This album is a selection from previous HighNote releases over the period 1996 to 2002, the year of Etta’s death, made by her long time musical partner, tenor saxist and producer Houston Person.
		What a musical legacy this is, each song is performed with loving care, by an artist who obviously had great respect for the material she worked with.
		These are true jazz performances, with Etta Jones interpreting each song in her individual way, but never straying so far from the composer’s intention as to make the song unrecognisable.

	Etta Jones : Love Shout - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Singer Etta Jones' final Prestige album (she would record only once more until 1975) has been reissued on CD in the OJC series.
		Joined by either a quintet including both organist Larry Young and pianist Kenny Cox or a larger group with the reeds of Jerome Richardson and both Kenny Burrell and Bucky Pizzarelli on guitars, Jones is in excellent form on a wide variety of material.
		Other highlights include "Love Walked In," "Like Someone In Love" and "Old Folks." Although Etta Jones' finest work was made for Muse in the 1970s and '80s, the appealing singer is in good form on this LP-length program.

	Amazon.com: Etta Jones Sings Lady Day: Music: Etta Jones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Listeners not thoroughly familiar with the musical careers of both Lady Day and Etta Jones may be misled into thinking this recording is the former, especially since Billie's frail voice at the end clearly is no match for Etta's here.
		Get some vintage Billie and Etta before even considering this one which, though sincere, is far from a perfect example or showcasing of Etta Jones' remarkable talent.
		Be that as it may, this album is better than any of the other Etta Jones album released in recent years.

	Welcome to the Jazz Depot
		From the days of her youth in the bands of Buddy Johnson and Earl Hines, to the time of her Grammy-nominated Billie Holiday Tribute, released on the very day of her passing, Etta Jones created a vocal language of rhythmic vitality and a keen sense of lyrical interpretation.
		Through Etta's sensitivity and feeling for the human condition, she endowed her songs with a sublime emotional power that transports the listener to a heightened feeling of empathy and sentiment.
		Here is Etta as she would want us to remember her, doing what she did best -- singing the core repertoire of the Great American Songbook.

		Anyone who tells Billy Taylor (not an exact quote here but true to the spirit) "I, of course was influenced by Billie, but my other great influences were not singers--rather Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt." Well, nothing more need be said.
		For some reason I doubt that Houston Person's on the album you got but since he's been so closely associated with Etta for 30 years, here are shots of both of them taken at the '93 ChiJzFst.
		I've noted before that, as a result of the interview he did with her, Etta's a big fan of jazzler "Don Williamson."

	Etta Jones : Don't Go to Strangers (Prestige) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Etta Jones : Don't Go to Strangers (Prestige)
		Listen to Jones' restructuring of the melody to the opening track, the old chestnut "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," to hear a gifted jazz singer sliding and shifting the tone center of a song like a veteran horn player, all the while leaving the melody still recognizable, but refreshing it until it stands revealed anew.
		Apparently there were no additional tracks cut at the session, since bonus material has never surfaced on any of the album's subsequent reissues, although that's hardly a problem, because as is, Don't Go to Strangers is a perfect gem of a recording.
