A Divine Work

"A Divine Gift from a Divine Voice singing music by the Duke. This disk is one of those fine recordings that people dream of taking with them to a desert island. Sassy's opening track is one of the richest blues ever recorded. Every moment of this album is perfection."
A TRULY JAZZY SET

"How could it be any different when it's Ellington that Sassy is doing? I prefer this collcection to her Volume 1. It's probably personal taste. V.2 swings while v.1 are ballads. She truly showed off her very individualistic jazz style on all 11 peices. I only knew 3 songs before I orginally bought the tribute. Still I'm glad I became acqainted with I Ain't Got Nothing But The Blues, Rocks In My Bed, Tonight I Shall Sleep & the rest. All of the unkown songs are treasures to me. That hasn't happened too often on other cds or lps. Truly a one of a kind !"
