Hadda Brooks - Jump Back Honey


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A cracking collection
 



Hadda Brooks was unknown to me until I was steered toward her by Mark Barry in his excellent Overlooked Albums book.  I tried this, and it's terrific.

Hadda Brooks was a fine singer and a very good pianist, too.  This is a collection of varied songs from love songs and heartbreak ballads to some terrific boogie-woogie.  It's an absolute delight as a collection, and the transfers and remastering seems excellent to me, so the sound is very good.  I can recommend this to anyone with an interest in the music of this period, or just very good quality music.  It's a little cracker.
