Even though Anne Phillips had a successful career in music, Born To Be Blue (1959) was the first and only album as a jazz soloist that she recorded during her prime. Afterwards she became one of the most respected and in-demand studio performers in the music business in New York City in the '60s, singing in backing groups on countless recording sessions, as well as writing, arranging, and producing commercials. She wouldn't make her next solo vocal album until 2001!

Born To Be Blue finds her in the company of brilliant jazz players, such as guitarist Mundell Lowe, trumpeter Doc Severinsen, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Osie Johnson, among others.
