I had the album (my copy is currently in deep storage) and I was looking for the four tracks with Earl "Fatha" Hines to complete an eight-CD Hines mix I was working on. The titles on your uploads are scrambled (though it's a tribute to pianist Wilbert Barranco that on one of the mislabeled tracks he had me convinced he was Hines until the unmistakable voice of Dinah Washington kicked in) but with the help of your track list and the Dinah Washington "Legendary Song Stylist" CD (which includes seven of her Apollo Records recordings, four of which are also included here) I was able to dope out which was which. Once again, a marvelous recording, excellently transferred, showcasing little-known tracks by the legendary Dinah Washington (with jazz greats Lucky Thompson, Milt Jackson and Charles Mingus!) and the less well-known but excellent Betty Roché. Thank you again!mgconlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328563476025164608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135368868814715362.post-13842358460433192472013-05-20T08:00:43.647-04:002013-05-20T08:00:43.647-04:00Anytime I find some Lucky Thompson that I didn'...Anytime I find some Lucky Thompson that I didn't have before is a great day!
