Gayle Andrews & Sandy Warner - Love's a Snap! + Fair and Warner (2 LP on 1 CD) (2022)

Love's a Snap!
Once you get past the gripping visual beauty of Gayle Andrews, the effect of her voice is no less astonishing. She displays a controlled intimate style on ballads, plus an approach to a jump beat that reveals a deep emotional feeling for jazz. Although this session marked Gayle's recording debut, it was by no means the beginning of her career. Her voice captivated audiences everywhere, both in theaters and in nightclubs, but she soon walked away from the scene, this album being the only one she recorded. Arranger and director Stu Phillips, well known for his regular TV and movie scoring assignments, is responsible for the excellent backgrounds. For his purpose he used two groups, one with strings and woodwinds, the other a swing band with reeds and brass, which achieve a blend of subtle and natural voice and arrangement.
