Pat Bowie - Out Of Sight! (1965) [re-rip]

This LP is the first of two albums that Pat Bowie ever made. It was released on Prestige Records in 1965 and features a mighty line-up of jazz artists including: Seldon Powell on Tenor Sax & Flute; Guitarist Kenny Burrell; Ray Bryant on Piano; Milt Hinton on bass and drummer Osie Johnson. Pat performs a broad and vivid selection of tunes and the players get ample opportunity to showcase their talents whilst supporting her dynamic range of soulful vocalisations. Overall a lovely record; it's such a pity she didn't maintain her momentum and evolve her skills beyond just familiar ballads and standards, who knows how celebrated she could have become. Enjoy!
