Barbara Rosene
It Was Only a Sun Shower

Barbara Rosene Home Page

Barbara Rosene has recorded more songs for Stomp Off Records than any other singer. Why? Because she embodies the qualities that made the young jazz singers of the late 'twenties ( e.g. Marion Harris, Ruth Etting, Annette Hanshaw, Jane Green) so appealing: truly melodic, authentic delivery without airs or affectations, a sweet voice but with jazz phrasing. And like those early singers, Barbara surrounds herself with great jazz players and enjoys their involvement with the material. This is a special collection of tunes, mostly from the 1920s. Barbara Rosene really loves these old songs and it shows throughout this CD. She never satirizes a song or treats it ironically. She has a vocal purity that is rare. And the recorded sound by Jim Czak is so vivid that you'll feel like Barbara and her splendid musicians are in your living room with you. One of the tunes on this from the year 1929 is entitled, "I Think You'll Like It." And now that goes for you and the wonderful music on this album.
