During 1953-1955, singer Chris Connor recorded regularly for Bethlehem. This LP has her final recordings for the label (before moving  to Atlantic) with such fine sidemen as Herbie Mann (doubling on flute and tenor), pianist Ralph Sharon, guitarist Joe Puma, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Osie Johnson. The two-trombone team of J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding (which had recently become very popular) is prominent on four of the ten selections. Connor's cool tone, subtle, emotional delivery and haunting voice were perfect for the music of the 1950s. Highlights of this superior set include "The Thrill Is Gone", "Blame It On My Youth", and "I Concentrate On You", but all ten numbers are rewarding.         

In der Zeit von 1953-55 nahm die Sängerin Chris Connor regelmäßig bei Bethlehem auf. "This Is Chris" enthält ihre letzten Aufnahmen für dieses Label (danach wechselte sie zu Atlantic) mit solch hervorragenden Musikern an ihrer Seite wie Herbie Mann (sowohl Flöte als auch Tenorsaxophon), Pianist Ralph Sharon, Gitarrist Joe Puma, Bassist Milt Hinton und Schlagzeuger Osie Johnson. Das Posaunen-Duo von J.J. Johnson und Kai Winding (das erst kürzlich sehr populär geworden war) ist bei vier von zehn Stücken besonders markant. Connors kühler Ton, ihre subtile, gefühlvolle Interpretation und ihre bewegende Stimme waren für die Musik der 50er Jahre perfekt. Highlights dieses ausgezeichneten Albums sind "The Thrill Is Gone", "Blame It On My Youth" und "I Concentrate On You", aber alle zehn Stücke machen die LP erst perfekt.
