After “Either Way”, a disc with modest instrumentation but which uses strings in four pieces, Anne Ducros, the only French singer with Cécile McLorin Salvant who managed to obtain the Vocal Jazz Prize from the Académie du Jazz ( in 2001 with “Purple Songs”), returns to the orchestral splendor of “Ella… My Dear”...
She recorded the album Piano, Piano (Dreyfus, 2006) with pianists Corea, Enrico Pieranunzi, René Urtreger, and Benoît de Mesmay. The album includes standards such as "God Bless the Child" and "Never Let Me Go". Her cover of the song "Taking a Chance on Love" was used in the 2005 Chanel Chance perfume commercials.
Jack Goodstein of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, described her album Either Way as "perhaps the finest album from a jazz vocalist I've heard this year, and certainly the most interesting." Christopher Loudon of JazzTimes called Ducros part Blossom Dearie, part Annie Ross, and part Yma Sumac.
