Bessie Smith 1997 - The Essential Bessie Smith (2CD) [EAC FLAC]  Bessie Smith  Bessie Smith in 1936 Wikipedia: Bessie Smith (April 15, 1894 – September 26, 1937) was an American blues singer.

She is often regarded as one of the greatest singers of her era and, along with Louis Armstrong, a major influence on other jazz vocalists. The Essential Bessie Smith  Artist: Bessie Smith Title: The Essential Bessie Smith Format: 2 × CD, Compilation, Remastered Country: US Producer: Lawrence Cohn Release Date: August 27, 1997 Recording Date: April 11, 1923 - November 24, 1933 Label: Columbia, Legacy Catalog: C2K 64922 ASIN: B000002ADO Genre: Blues, Vocal Jazz Styles: Classic Female Blues, Early Jazz, Traditional Jazz, Vaudeville Blues Duration: 01:52:31 AllMusic Review by Cub Koda: Although there are a multitude of box sets chronicling Bessie's entire recorded career, this two-disc, 36-song set sweats it down to the bare essentials in quite an effective manner. Bessie could sing it all, from the lowdown moan of "St. Louis Blues" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" to her torch treatment of the jazz standard "After You've Gone" to the downright salaciousness of "Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl." Covering a time span from her first recordings in 1923 to her final session in 1933, this is the perfect entry-level set to go with. Utilizing the latest in remastering technology, these recordings have never sounded quite this clear and full, and the selection -- collecting her best-known sides and collaborations with jazz giants like Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, and Benny Goodman -- is first-rate. If you've never experienced the genius of Bessie Smith, pick this one up and prepare yourself to be devastated.
