An Elegant Ballad On An Album That Had Several Of Them, Including The Masterful "If I Had You" And A Marvelous Reading Of "All The Way," A Song Usually Identified With Frank Sinatra, "Don't Go To Strangers" Featured Jones' Airy, Bluesy Phrasing And Uncanny Sense Of Spacing, And Was Very Much A Jazz Performance, Making Its Success On The Pop Charts All The More Amazing. Listen To Jones' Restructuring Of The Melody To The Opening Track, The Old Chestnut "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," To Hear A Gifted Jazz Singer Sliding And Shifting The Tone Center Of A Song Like A Veteran Horn Player, All The While Leaving The Melody Still Recognizable, But Refreshing It Until It Stands Revealed Anew. Don't Go To Strangers Is A Perfect Gem Of A Recording.” Steve Leggett, AMG. more

In "If You Could See Me Now," Etta Jones delivers an emotionally resonant exploration of jazz and blues that is both timeless and intimate. This album, released in 1979, showcases Jones' ability to convey deep feeling through her rich, textured vocal delivery. Critics have often noted how Jones' voice carries a unique blend of warmth and resilience, and this record is no exception. Her interpretation of standards and lesser-known gems highlights her deep understanding of the emotional narratives embedded within them. Backed by a stellar lineup of musicians, including the soulful tenor saxophone of Houston Person, the album creates a lush soundscape that draws listeners into its every nuance.

	Sugar New - LP - MR 5379 Sealed, Hard To Find 1990 Vinyl Featuring Special Guests, Houston Person, Earl Coleman And Della Griffin. Recorded By Rudy Van Gelder. “Etta Jones' Long String Of Recordings During The Final Part Of Her Career For Muse And High Note Are Some Of The Most Rewarding Of Her Life. Her Voice Was Naturally Not As Youthful As Earlier And Her Range Gradually Shrunk, But She Was Very Soulful And Had A Way Of Wailing Out Notes That Made Each Song Her Own. Tenor Saxophonist Houston Person Is A Consistent Force Throughout And Etta Jones Is Heard In Prime Form On Both Dates. Notable Highlights Include Vocal Duets With Earl Coleman ("This Is Always") And Della Griffin ("Side By Side").” Scott Yanow, All Music Guide. more
