Synopsis

Product Description
It s been five years since Inside Sounds released The Memphis Belles Past, Present & Future, a compilation of twenty women with styles ranging from rockabilly to R&B. The CD was a bona fide success, and in 2004 a concert was staged at the Cannon Center featuring Reni Simon, Carla Thomas, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Gwin Spencer, Sandy Carroll, Kelley Hurt and Joyce Cobb. In keeping with the original CD s motif, the concert was an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, soul, and rock. The feedback from that concert lead us to the idea of compiling The Memphis Belles Jazz Collection. After all, the home of the blues and birthplace of rock n roll is also widely recognized for its contribution to jazz. This collection includes both traditional and contemporary jazz artists--some who have been performing in Memphis for more than three decades and a few who are new to the scene, still in their mid-twenties.
