Sugar (Etta Jones album)


Sugar is an album by vocalist Etta Jones which was recorded in 1989 and released on the Muse label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "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. On Sugar, the first four numbers have her joined by a rhythm section that is hurt slightly by Horace Ott's dated-sounding keyboards. The other four numbers have more suitable accompaniment".
