Due from SSJ Records 8/15/2012
San Antonio-born Doris
Drew was one of the most widely heard voices heard on U.S. TV and radio in the
1950s. In addition, she etched many dozens of tracks for major labels. And yet
she recorded only one album in her entire career, a straight-ahead jazz issue
featuring the likes of Marty Paich, Herb Geller, Dave Pell et al, and the
Hollywood Strings. As for her other recordings, until now, most of singles had
a short shelf life and then faded into oblivion----common for such discs during
the heyday of the 45 rpm---until now. SSJ is happy to introduce this new
Rarities Series, and is honored to present Doris Drew as its first star. Her backup
on these sides constitutes a virtual Who’s Who of U.S. jazz of the 1950s,
including John Williams, Les Paul, Herb Geller, Jack Fascinato, and Med Flory.
