Album Notes
Personnel includes: Josephine Baker (vocals); Erwin Bootz (piano); Jacob's Jazz, Fray, Braggiotti, Melodic-Jazz Du Casino De Paris, Jacques Pills, Georges Tabet, Le Jazz Du Poste-Parisien, The Comedian Harmonists, The Lecuona Cuban Boys.Principally recorded in Paris, France between December 1926 and November 1936. Includes liner notes by Alan Eichler.Digitally remastered by Steve Hoffman (Location Recording Service).JOSEPHINE BAKER is a 2-disc overview, encapsulating the early part of the singer's career in France, with most recordings taken from original 78 rpm records. It includes a 28 page color booklet. Disc 1 is in English and Disc 2 is in French.Josephine Baker was much more famous as a cabaret performer, dancer and personality than as a jazz singer but, as she shows on some of these early recordings, she could swing and improvise when she wanted to. The two-CD set gives one a well-rounded picture of Baker's prime period and a surprising percentage of the songs are jazz standards such as "Dinah," "I Found a New Baby," "Bye Bye Blackbird," "Blue Skies," "You're Driving Me Crazy," etc. The musicianship of the French bands, which is rather streaky on part of the first disc, greatly improves by the later tracks and Baker is heard at her best throughout. It's a perfect introduction to her singing talents. ~ Scott Yanow
