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]
