Sax player?, Embraceable You

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Embraceable You, the Etta James version from the Album "Mystery Lady - Songs of Billie Holiday".  Anyone know the Sax player? sounds a bit Ben Websterish, but he had sadly left us when this was released in 1994.

I have the Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, versions which are "not a patch" on Etta.  The Helen Forrest version though, is also terrific.

By the way, I am surprised Diana Krall has not recorded this song. Or have I missed it?

	Looks like Red Holloway is the tenor player on that date.

	Thank you. That sounds right, as I see he worked a lot with James.
