Dinah Washington - The Complete Roulette Jazz Sessions (2004)


Five CDs and 94 tracks from her 1962-63 recording sessions give this complete Dinah Washington collection from Mosaic ample opportunities for extended listening. Five hours of Ms. Washington"s expressive way with a song tell a long and detailed story.
She swings naturally with a genuine aura. On Disc I, walking bass, comping piano, rhythm guitar and a swinging big band surround her with a mood that supports well. It"s wholesome. The focus remains on her lustrous voice and the stories that she has to tell.
