(2004)
more music like this
by
Pearl Bailey
Outspokenness and the art of the clever aside are essential components of the African-American performance tradition. Bessie Smith, Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon, Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller each developed a distinctive manner of talking over the music as if to dispel the sort of pretensions that so often cluttered up conventional mainstream pop ...

by
Various Artists
Now obviously, there's absolutely no such animal as "cigar smoking music," but never let it be said that a major record company (in this case, MCA, through their Hip-O imprint) would let a yuppie-derived social fad -- in this case, the rise of cigar smoking in the politically correct '90s -- go by without cobbling together a four-volume series to ...

The selection, sequence, and editing are all ...

Jasmine presents a casual overview of selections from Pearl Bailey's first ten years as a recording artist (1945-1955). Picking up where Fats Waller left off, this gorgeous, powerful, and witty woman dismantled all kinds of long-established presentational conventions by half-singing, half-talking her way through every song she ever handled.

Now, here's an oddity. Pearl Bailey made a series of recordings for Columbia Records during the second half of the 1940s, then didn't record for the label again until 1966, when she cut only three songs -- "If My Friends Could See Me Now" and "Big Spender" from the then-current Broadway musical Sweet Charity and the title song from another show of ...

With a running time only slightly over two hours, this budget-priced, four-CD box set from Canada easily could have fit onto two discs. There are no annotations beyond recording dates, and the mastering was done from records. (Presumably the copyright on these recordings has run out north of the border.) Also, the title is slightly misleading: ...
