2 LPs ON 1 CD

Two complete long unavailable LPs by cult jazz singer Lorez Alexandria, backed by great stars like Ramsey Lewis, Frank Foster, Frank Wess, Al Grey, Freddie Green, Joe Newman, and Howard McGhee. Early in the Morning appears here on CD for the first time ever, while Deep Roots has only previously appeared on CD on a long out of print Japanese edition.
As a bonus we have added further songs by Lorez, including two versions of “Baltimore Oriole”, the song she would be most closely associated with.
