Great Women of Song: Dinah Washington – Dinah Washington [CD]

Description

Description

As Duke Ellington would have said, Dinah Washington was ‘beyond category’. Subtle and inventive enough to hold an honored place in the jazz pantheon yet tough and forceful enough to command the attention of blues, R&B and rock & roll audiences. Equally at ease performing Broadway songs, pop tunes or jazz material, Washington combined urbane finesse with down-home grit to make music that reflected her strong-willed, larger-than-life personality.
