(5 out of 5 stars)
"I liked this CD because it challenged my listening and brought back the old adage of listening for content. I Like Bertha Hope's refernces to Dizzy's Salt Penuts,Duke Ellington and Thelonius Monk. The choice of Walter Booker and Jimmy Cobb as a part of the trio did not hurt. Their playing is fantastic. After all they are among the best players on their instruments that we have today. Bertha Sang Two songs that Come out of the Early History of African American Performers who performed in Europe singing Negro Spirituals. I recomend this CD to all Classic Jazz Listeners.
