The Fabulous Josephine Baker

The manner in which the great Josephine Baker evolved as an artist is extraordinary, while as a vocalist, she aged like fine wine. Up until the late 1940s Baker's voice was light and twittering, and at times maybe even a little shrill - a fine example of the 'pop' female singing voice in vogue during the 1920s and 30s. By the early 1950s one finds that her voice had transformed into a marvelous mezzo instrument, and by the time she recorded the chanons avaialbe on this album her voice had evolved even more - it was the inctrument a true master, grand and opulent as the city of Paris.

Cocktail Hour: Josephine Baker

I have read the two reviews for this CD and wish to say that they both are terribly misleading. Yes, perhaps Josephine Baker is not everyone's cup of tea, but this two-disc collection is a lot of fun to listen to and enjoy. The sound quality is not at all raspy, slurry or fuzzy, although you can tell that these are vintage recordings which have been re-mastered onto CD. They are probably from 78 rpm records or maybe even old film soundtracks. I found the sound quality to be very clear and good considering the source materials available! Columbia River Entertainment Group has done a nice job packaging these "Cocktail Hour" sets, of which I own five and plan to buy more in the future.

    1. Suppose! - Josephine Baker, Dixon, Willie
    2. Voulez-Vous de la Canne À Sucre? - Josephine Baker, Lelievre, Leo
