LIL GREENWOOD - CD WALKING AND SINGING THE BLUES

Popis - WALKING AND SINGING THE BLUES:
Rightly best known for her time as one the main singers for the Duke Ellington Orchestra in the late 50s and early 60s, Lil Greenwood's polished performances in those times always gave more than a hint of her blues and R&B background. The Duke remarked of her "I don't know but what, whether she's better on spirituals or when she's walking and singing the blues." It's that blues background that is the focus 'Walking And Singing The Blues'. This compilation presents her full output for both the Modern label in Los Angeles and the Federal label recorded between 1950 and 1953.
