Dinah Washington Sings Bessie Smith album for sale Product Description
Dinah Washington Sings Bessie Smith album for sale by Dinah Washington was released Nov 09, 1999 on the Emarcy label. Dinah Washington's late-1950s recordings of some of Bessie Smith's best-known songs are both a tribute to the artistry of the Empress of the Blues and an acknowledgement of Washington's kinship to her illustrious predecessor through her own hardscrabble roots and tempestuous lifestyle. Accompanied by a band led by her then-husband, Eddie Chamblee, the singer rips her way through a set that features such Smith classics as "Me and My Gin," "Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair," and "After You've Gone," as well as several live tracks recorded at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Dinah Washington Sings Bessie Smith CD music contains a single disc with 15 songs. ...See Full Description

| Dinah is a blast as always... ... but the ersatz 1920s arrangements tend to be a drag. The live tracks from the Newport Jazz Festival of some of the same tunes are rendered in a more modern vein & are much better. By Chopsie (Columbia, SC) |
