Woman gifted with a terrific attraction, Ursula George and his musicians pay tribute with reverence and deep admiration to prewar vaudeville blues pioneers, and they do it with an extreme good taste All the musicians involved in the album know their job and put enough energy to make everything sound in the right place, with a huge inspiration and no artificial affectation Ursula is a high caliber singer, who was born with the swing running through her blood Ms George has charisma and a sweet warm voice, which comes from the deepest part of her soul, which communicates and convinces from the first notes that come out of her incredible throat She has also chosen a classic varied good repertoire, where you will find songs coming from twenties and thirties American songbook, together with different compositions, ranging from Eubie Blake (I love her version of My Handy Man Ain’t Handy No More, only surpassed by Edith Wilson & Little Brother Montgomery one (sorry Ursula!), to great piano player and conductor Perry Bradford, as well as Spencer Williams or George Thomas among others All musicians shine at a very high level, so let me only mention Rich Lataille soprano sax and clarinet, Doug James tenor and baritone sax, Doug Woolverton trumpet, Michael Mudcat Ward bass and Tim Ray pianoThis is a perfect album to enjoy and savor at any time
