On this trio gig from 1956, the very same year America first completely swooned for Elvis, she accompanied herself daringly on piano with a bassist and a drummer. Her vocal delivery and style is like an audible blue period Monet; lots of tones and grades giving you different things depending on your distance and perspective.
She shows her impressive piano skills on “Too Late Now” as well as “I Hadn’t Anyone Till You”. Yes, she can be upbeat and optimistic as on “Too Marvelous for Words” and “It’s De-Lovely” but these are simply lighter chips on the deeply hued mosaic that is the intoxicating and irresistible Miss Southern. Her biggest hit, “You Better Go Now” includes all her strengths; understatement with vulnerability and a lilting pulse in both her voice and on her piano that sounds like she’s just about to fade into the shadows.
And then, shortly before the record’s close, she does a stunning a capella version of “Scarlet Ribbons” that silences the house and can be heard now as one of the great jazz performances of her time. She’s unexpectedly marvelous all the way through this record but on that one track you can’t help wondering “where did THAT come from?”
This album frames us a woman in total command of her art, bordering ever-so-slightly on cabaret performing, which in her case, is all to the good. She is both a first-rate performer and hypnotizing to listen to. Another one we thoroughly recommend!
