3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Josephine Baker, November 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black Pearl (Audio CD)
I am spoiled because I heard Josephine Baker live at Carnegie Hall in the seventies and at that time her voice had the rich sometimes contralto texture that I found wonderful. So many of her recordings are the earlier ones in Paris where her voice can be a tad metallic and high pitched. This is not a complaint it is just that the lower registers of her voice are marvelous to hear. I do not think that her recording at the Bobino in Paris is available on CD but it is another example which is very fine. If you prefer the lower register voiced Josephine Baker and you would be interested in hearing her voice "catch" all the experience and living she has been through try "Jospehine at Carnegie Hall" or her "Bobino Concert." You should not be disappointed.

This particular recording is just "vin ordinaire" but with Josephine Baker "that ain't ordinary" And for those who like the classic Josephine it should be a good choice!
