ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Chris Connor epitomized cool jazz singing in the 1950s. Influenced by Anita O'Day, the torchy, smoky singer wasn't one for aggression. She used subtlety and restraint to their maximum advantage. Connor sang with a big band led by trombonist Bob Brookmeyer before leaving her native Kansas City for New York in 1947. She was featured in Claude Thornhill's orchestra in the early '50s. Connor was hired by Stan Kenton at June Christy's recommendation, and her association with him [1952-1953] resulted in the hit "All About Ronnie." Connor's solo debut in 1953 was for Bethlehem, before moving to Atlantic in 1955. Connor reached the height of her popularity with celebrated versions of Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life" and George Shearing's "Lullaby of Broadway," and excellent albums "Lullabies of Birdland" for Bethlehem and "Chris Craft" for Atlantic.
