Joy Tiltonhaving myself a bit of a tearfest as I listen to this kid at the age of ten singing the great old standards, like "Fly Me To the Moon," "Summer Wind," and "All of Me," off of #CharlieGreen's self titled album recorded in 2008 after #Brittain'sGotTallent.
John EckmanBessie Smith, Any Woman’s Blues, 1970 on Columbia
This is was the second in a series of five 2xLP releases on Columbia in 1970-1972 that covered Smith’s recordings for the label.
These recordings were made between September 1923 and March 1930, all recorded in New York. Piano by Fletcher Henderson, Clarence Williams, Irving Johns, James Price Johnson, and Jimmy Jones. Other musicians include Don Redman (clarinet), Eddie Lang (guitar), Garvin Bushnell (alto sax, clarinet, soprano sax), Ed Allen (cornet), Arville Harris (tenor sax), Cyrus St. Clair (tuba), Charlie Green (trombone), and Louis Bacon (trumpet).
Technical restoration by Larry Hiller and liner notes by Chris Albertson (author of Bessie).
Great set of early Bessie Smith recordings in mono.
My copy, via Academy Records in NYC, is a 1970 pressing
