There is some fine use of Stereo in some of the tracks on this fine singer !!...she swaps from left to right speaker during the songs !
Ruth Olay (born San Francisco 1924-) is a jazz singer with Hungarian ancestry who was born in San Francisco, the daughter of a Rabbi and a professional chorister mother. Moving to Los Angeles while still an infant, Olay became a fixture in Hollywood's nightclub scene in the late 1940s and through the 1950s and early 1960s.....The daughter of a lapsed rabbi and an opera singer, Ruth Olay is quite an idiosyncratic vocalist. There is definitely an operatic quality to her voice (and she also had classical piano training), yet her style is still swinging and jazzy.
Ruth Olay is one of the many talented jazz vocalists who enjoyed a long and varied career on America's cabaret and night club scene and she made a handful of great recordings during the LP era. Presented here for your listening pleasure are the LPs "Easy Living" which features the arrangements of the renowned Jerry Fielding and his orchestra.
This is a must have for fans of the jazz vocalists.
