5.0 out of 5 stars Lovable and Sweet, December 5, 2001

This is the compilation to buy, because it has the main song. Annette Hanshaw was just a teenager when she recorded "Lovable and Sweet". Unbelievable. What a voice. And what a song! Written by Oscar Levant, it's lyrics and melody work wonderfully together. It has delightful complex internal rhymes that are a joy to rediscover after the simplicity of the last few decades' pop songs. Almost anyone listening to Annette sing this song for the first time is going to -- I don't know how to put it. Can you fall in love with a young girl that died 16 years ago at 75?

What a wonderful album! I couldn't stop listening to the samples before I got it. Starved for good music, I am just discovering some neat music from the early 1900's. Annette Hanshaw has so much class, and makes most of today's pop singers sound like a fart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best jazz singer of the 1920's..., October 13, 1999

This review is from: Lovable & Sweet: 25 Vintage Hits (Audio CD)

She could swing before the word "swing" was even invented, and she could scat before the phrase "scat" was ever invented. She improvised and swung with feeling and she always had the best back up musicians(Dorsey Brothers, The Mephis Five, Joe Venuti, Manny Klein, exe...) Hanshaw retired in 1934, after all she was an heiress who was singing for fun, not for money. This is esseential jazz, that sounds timelass and as good today as ever(does not at all sound dated) Pure jazz!!!
