"Dinah Washington, the "Queen of the blues", was the most outstanding blues artist among female jazz singers and the greatest female jazz vocalist to sing the blues! She occupies a place in the history of Afro American vocal art at the summit, alongside Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Mahalia Jackson and Ella Fitzgerald. Jean Buzelin allows the listener to discover the amazing talent of Dinah Washington in this 42 titles double CD-set accompanied with a French and English 24 pages booklet." Patrick FrEmeaux
