The second "Ace 10 Inch CD" pays tribute to "The First Lady Of Modern Records," the late Hadda Brooks (1916-2002). Whereas Ace's previous Brooks release "Romance In The Dark" (ACE #453) mostly showcased her sultry vocal stylings, this 18 track package is a 98% instrumental affair that draws its content from the many invigorating boogie pieces she recorded 1945-51 - including, for the first time on a legit CD, both sides from the debut 78 rpm release! Despite the "all-boogie" tag there's plenty of variation in style and tempo here. Several tracks have never been released before in any format. Includes a "hidden track": a Radio KRE aircheck improvised boogie from 1946.
