From the Fresh Sound Records website:
Surprisingly, singer
Pat Thomas is virtually forgotten even as part of the
scene of which she was, all too briefly, a major
talent. In Chicago, where she was born and raised, she
was the most sought-after female singer by local and
visiting musicians, who valued her way of handling
lyrics. Pat could be classified as a pop-jazz
vocalist. She had directness and clarity mixed with a
subtle reading of a song, a warm vocal sound,
impeccable intonation, and an unaffectedly sincere
feel for the blues.
She was just 24 when she recorded the first
English-language version of the bossa nova hit,
Desafinado, for Verve in 1962; released as a debut
single with One Note Samba it won her a Grammy
nomination. Transferred to MGM for release, it was
part of Desafinado, the album she made that year with
some notable musicians, including Bud Shank, Laurindo
Almeida, Mel Lewis and arranger Lalo Schifrin, plus
orchestra. It sold well and led to a second album,
Moody’s Mood, the following year, with orchestras
arranged by Claus Ogerman and several others.
Featuring Johnny Hodges and Hank Jones in some tracks
it showed her range was much greater than her ready
mastery of the Brazilian idiom and confirmed the
further qualities of an artist hailed as “a good
singer on her way to becoming a great one”. Somehow,
that never materialised; she died, unheralded, in
March 1992.
