It's Got That Swing,
By
This review is from: It Don't Mean a Thing (Audio CD)
There are many who regard Ivie Anderson as The Duke's best vocalist, and this compilation can only reinforce that belief. It covers the period of her career with Ellington, from 1932 when she first recorded with him, to 1942 when she gave up touring, and throws in for good measure her 1946 recording of Empty Bed Blues. She melded perfectly with the orchestra, establishing herself in a predominantly male clique, and was adored by musicians and audiences alike. As with all the best singers, her personality radiates from the recordings, be they exuberant up-tempo numbers like "Truckin'" or melancholy numbers like "Troubled Waters". Recommended without reservation.

This review is from: It Don't Mean a Thing (Audio CD)
Never heard of Ivie Anderson? Neither did I, until I saw her sing in old Marx Brothers movie (Day at the Races)....this is a great selection of (mostly) Duke Ellington through the 30's.
