WAXTIME RECORDS NANCY WILSON with CANNONBALL ADDERLEY & GEORGE SHEARING LIMITED EDITION 180gram AUDIOPHILE PRESSING During her career, singer Nancy Wilson was labelled as a blues, jazz, r&b, pop, and soul performer, as well as a consummate actress and "the complete entertainer". The title she preferred, however, was "song stylist". In 1960 and 1961, she participated on two jazz oriented collaborative LPs: one with alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, and the other with pianist George Shearing. Both albums alternated between vocal and instrumental songs. This special edition compiles all of Wilson's vocal tracks from those albums, both of which received rave reviews and commercial success.
