BROOKS HADDA - CD QUEEN OF THE BOOGIE AND M

Popis - QUEEN OF THE BOOGIE AND M:
Hadda Brooks has the triple distinction of being the first artist signed to the fledgling Modern Music Company, the first to release a 78rpm single and the first to have her own album, 'Queen Of The Boogie', released on Modern in 1944. This was a collection of 78s housed in a special book, the style used until the long playing vinyl album format was introduced in 1948. 'Queen Of The Boogie' was a showcase for Hadda's pianistic prowess and her only album released during her first tenure with Modern. This wonderful CD-reissue restores the original six-track album and adds a further 18 cuts, of which 14 previously unissued.
