Genre ~ Vocal Jazz, Standards | Label ~ Brilliant Jazz

A peerless interpreter of ballads, standards and blues, singer Etta Jones had a knack for conveying uncommon emotional power in a popular song form, just like her biggest influences Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington. Etta's soulful, long-standing partnership with tenor saxophonist Houston Person was one of the great teams in Jazz, as evidenced by these definitive sessions from the 70's. ~album's liner notes
