Album Review

Though Ernestine Anderson is best known for her sassy and upbeat interpretations, Ballad Essentials gathers some of her finest renditions of ballads like "Body and Soul," "Spring Is Here," "Summertime," and "T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do." A welcome look at some of her more underrated performances.
