Customer Reviews

Wow it's BESSIE SMITH (5 stars)
I am doing some reasearch on bessie and these songs are amazing!

Ok I hope you buy the song and bye!

A Must-Have! (5 stars)
I bought this album a while ago never having heard of Bessie, and I love it! It's got a great collection of songs (esp. "Me and My Gin"). It's definitely a must-have for anyone who loves jazz.
