The 1950s was a rich and fertile era for alluring jazz goddesses. With its 42 tracks taken from that era, this compilation features some of the greatest female voices known to popular music, including bona fide jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Anita O’Day and even ‘50s movie star, Marilyn Monroe. While the inclusion of cult jazz heroines like Dakota Staton and Lorez Alexandria will satisfy connoisseurs, this is a collection that the casual browser can enjoy as well.
