CD Reviews

Great introduction to a fabulous swing singer

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 08/17/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mildred Bailey is one of the great "lost" figures in the history of American swing jazz, a vocalist who helped discover, promote and influence the careers of Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby and Tony Bennett (to name a few), and who recorded prolifically throughout the 1920s, '30s and '40s, before falling into poverty and ill health in the early 'Fifties. Her music was, quite simply, nothing short of stunning -- fans of Billie Holiday's sprightly early swing recordings will be amazed at the similarity between these two singers... But make no mistake: Bailey was there first, and to fans, her work is certainly on a par with that of the better-remembered Lady Day. This is a well-selected, generously programmed 18-track single-CD selection of some of Bailey's best recordings on Columbia, featuring her big hit, "Rocking Chair," and other lively swing tunes. Sure, you could quibble about this song or that being left out, but for the casual record buyer, this is a great introduction to Bailey's work, and a nice glimpse of her belting 'em out during her prime. Highly recommended!"
