Paraphrased from the 16 page insert - Chris Albertson, author of Bessie, writes a lengthy and detailed
biography of Dinah Washington with notes about the titles. Culled from close to 500 sides from the
EmArcy, Keynote, Mercury, and Wing labels between 1941 and 1961, this set reflects the eclectic nature of Dinah s repertoire from jamming with the modern jazz masters, getting down with the blues, and writing ballads to handling silly novelty songs. Accompanying musicians inclued Lionel Hampton, Maynard Ferguson, Quincy Jones arr., and more from performances at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival and
Chicago, Los Angeles and New York recording studios, among others.
