Alice Babs

Alice Babs was one of the most famous jazz singers to come out of Sweden. Only 15 at the time of her recording debut, Babs became initially well-known for her yodeling, but soon became a superior swing singer. This definitive CD, which has 25 selections, gives listeners the highlights from her first 14 years on record, and features Babs being accompanied by some of Sweden's top jazz musicians. High points include "Some of These Days," "Minnie the Moocher's Wedding Day," "Oh Lady Be Good," "Truckin'," "Opus in Scat," and even "Yodel in Swing." ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
