Her first job singing with a trio, her first recording contract and her first LP record! Her second album Chris features tracks from her first date for Bethlehem which were arranged and conducted by Sy Oliver. For her third album This Is Chris her reputation was beginning to grow as can be seen in her fine company of musicians. On Chris Connor from February 1956 Chris once again shows off her ability to choose interesting and unconventional songs. Chris 'turns frankly sentimental' for He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. Chris is here accompanied by a large orchestra made up of strings, woodwind, reeds and rhythm, conducted by Ralph Burns who also wrote the arrangements. All four albums have been digitally re-mastered.
