About this album

Compared To What Featuring Kerrie Biddell is a sharp Australian jazz release built around Kerrie Biddell’s agile, characterful voice and a band that balances swing with a more contemporary edge. Issued in 1979, it draws on the title song’s social bite while moving through jazz standards, soulful balladry and originals with clear, uncluttered arrangements. Biddell was one of Australia’s most distinctive jazz vocalists, and this set shows why: phrasing that can turn conversational or forceful in a moment, and a delivery that keeps familiar material feeling vivid. It stands as a strong late-1970s example of Australian jazz recording.
