Bethlehem Records roster of artists in the 1950’s was truly impressive: Nina Simone, Carmen McRae, Dexter Gordon, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey and Duke Ellington. The label’s legacy is a lengthy discography that freshly and ambitiously captured and preserved an era of truly amazing music, including West Coast Cool Jazz and East Coast Bop. 1955’s This is Chris is one the Chris Connor’s early and best efforts, recorded as her star was rising high and with top-tier jazz talent in support. Each track has been restored from the original analog sound recording & digitally re-mastered.
