Annie Ross – but beware

The compilation "The Women I Love/Angel Eyes/1942-1954", published by Dreyfus Records, contains The Song is You from Annie Ross' 1953 Stockholm session with a Gigi Gryce small band (53-12).
Beware of certain sellers on Ebay that seem to include Lars Gullin (and other names you search for) in records where he does not appear. Thus, you'll find him in connection with Annie Ross in a Gershwin compilation. But Annie Ross recorded I was Doing All Right with Zoot, not Lars.
The same thing happens with a number of Chet Baker cd:s. It is a method to circumvent Ebay's policies!

Annie Ross in anthologies

There's an album from 1992 that includes Annie Ross' Stockholm 1953 recording of I was doing all right: The Great Jazz Vocalists Sing The Gershwin Songbook. Originally published by Blue Note Records both on cd and audio cassette. It also appears on the web as published by EMI/Capitol.
The same song is also included in the collection The Women I Love/Angel Eyes/1942-1954, published by Dreyfus Records.
