This review is from: Ethel Waters: 1921-1923 (Audio CD)

Along with Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, Ethel Waters is one of the three most important women jazz singers of the early twentieth century. If you want a good overview of Waters' singing, check out the French 1921-40 disc. This disc, however, shows you how she began--essentially how she worked in a slightly different medium, the urban or "classic" blues. Waters really hit her stride in the 1930s, but these songs show how she came into the business.
