Notes

Mary Jane “Chris Connor” Loutsenhizer was a jazz singer who played the clarinet during her childhood and adolescent years. Ms. Connor had publically performed for the first time at the 1945 Jefferson City Junior College graduation, where she sang Amor. The audience was so impressed by Ms. Connor’s voice that she decided to pursue a singing career.

Although Ms. Connor’s first had played and sung with the University of Missouri college band during the weekends, her primary means of income was stenography, which she performed during the weekdays. When Ms. Connor had relocated to New York City, she was unable to find a singing occupation, so she became an office stenographer. For the next few weeks, Ms. Connor had struggled until she successfully auditioned for and joined the Snowflakes, which was led by Claude Thornhill.

A few years later, Ms. Connor had secured a contract with Atlantic records, which was at that time, a rhythm and blues label. Even though Ms. Connor was the only Caucasian female jazz singer, she was given the right to choose her own tunes and to work with any musician that she desired.

Even though this is the fifth disc of 33.33 rpm of Chris Connor that Atlantic records had issued, this is the third Atlantic LP disc of which the reverse jacket side had indicated Full Dynamic Frequency Spectrum caption, which was near the upper left angle, the black spiral near the top middle part and the High Fidelity caption below the Atlantic logo and to the left of the catalog ID # which was near the upper right angle. This change took place in August 1958 when the Wilbur De Paris sings Cole Porter disc was issued. In November 1958, Atlantic had introduced the first stereophonic disc of 33.33 rpm of which was Ray Charles at Newport. Despite the fact that the Ray Charles at Newport disc was stereofonically issued, this Chris Connor disc was only monaurally released.
