Album Description
Helen Humes was one of the top singers to emerge during the swing era; her versatility--and her ability to put joy into the blues, standards and ballads that she sang--helped keep her career going for over 50 years. This essential collection contains 21 of Humes’ loveliest records, drawing from her time with Count Basie and her solo career, gathered together on a single CD for the very first time, with remastered sound, detailed notes by Scott Yanow and rare historic photos.
