I'm Shooting High (Ann Richards album)

I'm Shooting High is the first solo album recorded by Ann Richards released for Capitol Records in November 1958 (Capitol T-1087, stereo).

[1] The arranger for the session was Warren Barker and all selections for the album were conducted by Brian Farnon.

[2][3][4] Will Friedwald writes in his A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers: "After four years of just being Mrs. Stan Kenton, Richards recorded her first solo album, I'm Shooting High, for which arranger and saxophonist Warren Barker supplied Kenton-Rugolo-style charts.

"[5] All selections arranged by Warren Barker "...she's pleasing to the ear on the exotic Nightingale and on the swinging Will You Still Be Mine..." Will Friedwald, A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers[5] "...Richards displays an appealing voice and a swinging style.

She was best at this point on upbeat material, so the highlights include I'm Shooting High, Poor Little Rich Girl and Will You Still Be Mine."
