After signing with Chrysalis Records for—at the time—the highest paid contract for a new band, The Babys released their self-titled debut in 1976, with Broken Heart following the next year, containing the Top 20 hit “Isn’t It Time.” Released at the end of 1978, Head First arrived, and the newly expanded band featuring future-Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain and bassist Ricky Philips hit the road. (Waite, Cain, and Philips would later reunite in the platinum-selling act Bad English, whose “When I See You Smile” hit #1 in 1989.)

Australian-born and New York-based Nicki Parrott is not only a good bass player. She also has a singing voice reminiscent of Julie London and Blossom Dearie. For her debut album, Moon River, Venus producer Tetsuo Hara paired Parrott with John di Martino, a wonderful pianist and arranger who has recorded for Venus several times. Paul Myers’ guitar work is exemplary, and Harry Allen contributes tasteful solos.
“Moon River” is a very enjoyable, straightforward jazz album with great vocals and strong performances throughout.
