Sings Bessie Smith + Sings Fats Waller (2017)

"Dinah Washington's "Sings Bessie Smith" and "Sings Fats Waller" are highly regarded albums that showcase her interpretations of classic blues and jazz standards. "Sings Bessie Smith" features her powerful vocals and unique phrasing, bringing a modern twist to Smith's repertoire while retaining the drama of the originals. "Sings Fats Waller" highlights Washington's ability to handle Waller's playful and romantic tunes with equal skill, often featuring her husband at the time, Eddie Chamblee, on saxophone. Both albums are considered highlights of her career and essential additions to any jazz collection." (Jazzwise)
