Let's Pretend One of two new CDs released
Saturday, December 3, this one features Ellen herself singing 11
numbers from the Ellen Vanderslice songbook, plus one Gershwin tune!
Ellen is accompanied by some of Portland's finest jazz musicians.
Phil Baker, bass, also produced the album. The piano chair is split
between Tony Pacini and Greg Goebel. Mike Horsfall, who co-wrote
many of the tunes, plays vibes. With Neil Masson on drums and Lee
Wuthenow on tenor sax, these numbers sound great. |
