Title: Portland's Secret Is No More
Review: Rebecca Kilgore, perhaps the best-kept secret in current female jazz singing, records on this CD with Randy Porter, Neil Masson and Scott Steed, the musicians who regularly accompany her in Portland, Oregon. The 16-tune result will remind you at times of Chris Connor, Anita O'Day, June Christy or perhaps even Peggy Lee -- and then you'll realize it is none of them. It's Rebecca Kilgore, a solid performer in her own right, presenting both familiar and not-so-familiar songs you won't forget. Becky has had some hits on the Arbors label, but this hometown recording is as good or better. Thanks, Portland, for sharing your secret.
