Editorial Reviews

A marvelous voyage into the music of Bessie Smith, 'empress of the blues' as she was often called. A memorable 3 CD box set featuring her best. Among the many musicians that accompanied her over the course of her brilliant career, Louis Armstrong, Bob Fuller, Benny Goodman, Coleman Hawkins and Fletcher Henderson rise to the top of the list. These 73 tracks, arranged in chronological order cover from 1923 to 1933. Also includes illustrated booklet with extensive liner notes. A significant work to celebrate this first class star of jazz and blues.
