"A velvet voice like you wouldn't believe"
From the Label
The Satin Doll Trio remains, as one critic put it, "as smooth as honey on the ears" on their new release, A Cottage for Sale. As the jazz trio at the now famous Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, they performed in the same lounge where Monica Lewinsky - alleged paramour of the president - was secretly recorded by Linda Tripp and photographed by investigators, and in the same hotel where sportscaster Marve Albert famously assaulted a Virginia woman. No strangers to the limelight, they can now be seen... read more
Album Description
The new Satin Doll album "A Cottage for Sale" features the music of Julie London. We recorded all of the songs in the original guitar/bass only style of the early Julie London trios; even though Julie herself actually recorded some of these songs with Big Bands. This unique sound can also be heard recordings from the period by artists such as; Sarah Vaughan on "After Hours" featuring Mundell Lowe (guitar) and George Duvivier (bass); Ella Fitzgerald on "Take Love Easy" featuring Joe Pass (guitar); Julie London on "Julie is Her Name" featuring Barney Kessel (guitar) and Ray Leatherwood (bass); also "Julie is Her Name Vol. II" featuring Howard Roberts (guitar) and Red Mitchell (bass).

A Huge Disappointment.......2004-07-23
FANTASTIC - DON'T WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE TO MAKE YOUR PURCHASE.......1999-10-24
Excellent, pleasing very smooth........1999-07-19
A Pleasant Surprise.......1999-05-07
The liner notes state that the early Julie London recordings used instrumentation similar to that employed here by The Satin Doll Trio. I'm personally more familiar with the recordings Ms. London made with an orchestra, but enjoy the more free and open sound of the trio format.
I have to comment on the rendition of the title song, "A Cottage For Sale". Too often this very sad song is performed at a fast tempo, in almost a "swing" style. The Satin Doll Trio arrangement is slow, the way it's supposed to be, giving the listener a chance to think about the message the lyricist is presenting. My dad, Larry Conley, would have loved it, and he was the one who wrote the lyric!
I only found this CD by chance, while browsing the Amazon.com Web Page, but it certainly was a pleasant surprise. I think you'll enjoy it too!
