Title: Some of Ernestine's Best
Review: Ernestine Anderson began her singing career in 1943 with Russell Jacquet and performed with Lionel Hampton, George Shearing, Hank Jones, Gene Harris, Ray Brown and other jazz giants, but she's not as well-known or widely heard as she should be. This Concord Ballad Essentials strives to right that wrong, and the result is excellent. The 12 songs that make up this hour-plus sample of Anderson's work range from the oft-heard "Body and Soul" to "I'm Just a Lucky So and So" to "Summertime" to the less-recorded "Some Other Time." Ernestine handles all of them very well.
