Inspired by one of Bessie Smith's most memorable recordings. Recorded with Buck and his Band, 24 November 1933. NYC.
This was Bessie's last recording session, although she still continued to appear on stage. Four days after the recording session,
Billy Holiday made her first recording in the same studio. In the early hours of September 26th 1937, Bessie Smith was killed in
a tragic traffic accident, the circumstances of which, are still argued over today.

If you can, try to hear this wonderful, raucous record, and many more, on the "Red Hot Jazz" website. You won't be disappointed.
