Bubbling Brown Sugar [Original Broadway Cast]

by Bubbling Brown Sugar / O.c.r.

Overview

A musical revue featuring some of the most memorable jazz-age tunes of Black 30s composers such as Duke Ellington, Eubie Blake, and Fats Waller: "Sophisticated Lady," "Honeysuckle Rose," and more. On record, the show becomes essentially a sampler of that music, and it's effective for that, though the listener should also check out the original versions. ~ William Ruhlmann
