KITTY WHITE - A MOMENT OF LOVE (1956)

01. Autumn leaves
02. Glad to be unhappy
03. That's all
04. I'm glad there is you
05. My ship
06. My romance
07. Yesterdays
08. If i should lose you
09. I see your face before me
10. Long ago and far away
11. Everyday's a sad old day
12. Black is the color

Moment of Love remains one of the most uniquely stark and melancholy records of its period -- several songs couch Kitty White's poignant vocals in nothing more than Corky Hale's dark, otherworldly harp, creating performances that perfectly capture the essence of romantic alienation and disillusionment. Other selections add new elements to the palette, including Bud Shank on flute, but the record's emotional honesty and intensity remain consistent throughout -- White's readings of songs like "Glad to Be Unhappy," "Long Ago and Far Away," and "Everyday's a Sad Old Day" refuse to sugarcoat the bleak truths at the material's core. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Kitty White for years has been a nightclub favorite among audiences in Los Angeles, frequently singing sophisticated songs with well-traveled lyrics. Colorful, precise and imaginative, she has a remarkable voice that owes allegiance to no particular style. Aside from occasional side trips to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, and New York, Kitty has always stayed pretty much on home base, so it's not strange to find her here surrounded by groups featuring some outstanding West Coast jazz musicians. Impeccable in diction, phrasing and control, her work with them is a study in perfection.
