By most reckonings, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald
and Sarah Vaughan make up the holy trinity of female
jazz singers. Nothing to argue with there, and yet a
significant minority of listeners would surely push
for a holy quadrumvirate instead, with the addition
of Dinah Washington. Why Washington has never been ranked
as highly as Holiday, Fitzgerald and Vaughan is a mystery.
In any case, a quick listen to this disc, packed with
bluesy gems from the 1940s, should be enough to convince
any doubters of Washington’s greatness.
