Son-of-a-Weizen Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Seen this oop one pop up on ebay about a dozen times now over the past 3 or 4 months and I've noticed that it consistently sells for a pretty penny (the one sitting there now is up over $90.00). Is this just a collector 'thing' ......or simply some unbelievable 'must have' music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Don't know if you're a vocal fan Rolf , but if you are , then I would recommend this album . Had Ethel done what Billie did , and left Baltimore , she would be much better known today . Ethel possesses a lovely voice , and stylistically is closer to Sassy than to Billie . Lullabys For Losers has a moody after-hours feel , with Ethel's languid phrasing perfectly suited to the emotion behind the lyrics . The ever-tasteful Hank Jones is on piano .

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Okay, thanks Chas. Since casting out the net and soliciting suggestions re: fem vocalists in a thread about 6 months ago, I've actually been listening to a good bit of the ladies lately -- Ruth Price, Bev Kelly, Irene Krall (thanks 'D' ), Blossom Dearie, Anita O'Day, Sarah Vaughan and a couple others. If Hank Jones is on board, I'm real interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sounds intriguing, but not $90.00+ intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
