Book Reviews of Ragtime Tumpie
Book Review: Excellent Book - But La Baker was NEVER a Jazz Singer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been puzzeled as to why Josephine Baker has always been catagorized as a Jazz Singer (or even a movie star), particularly in the USA. Never once out of the some 230 songs she recorded and the many shows she put on, did she record or perform Jazz.
Josephine Baker was a cabaret entertainer, in the best sense of the word. She was a child of the Jazz age yes, but she was an entertainer of the old Parisian Folies Bergere, and one needs only sample any of her recordings, particularly of her later years (when she was at the hieght of her vocal and artistic powers), or, if you are lucky, see a film of her performing live to see that she was the PINNACLE of a cabaret act, the greatest of them all!
