One of the few listenable singers from the 20's, has a highly appealing and swinging style which puts her in the same category as Ethel Waters in the 20's. Some excellent jazz singing with excellent jazz musicians backing her(The Dorsey Brothers, Manny Klein, Joe Venuti and Bunny Berigan). Annette had an extremely plaintive voice but she was certainly not a sugary sweet singer. On this CD are a few songs in which she does an uncanny Helen Kane impersonation. (Previously deleted:6/1/13.
