Happy Birthday to Lucky Lucy Ann and Betty Be-Bop

Birthdays today of the just about the best straight-ahead jazz singer the world has ever known, Lucy Ann Polk (1927) AND Betty Carter (1930), the greatest of the far-out jazzettes. Both are now dead, but their "lessons" live on.

    Are the just announced Beverly Kenney SSJ releases identical to the first issues or are they different in some way (remasters, bonus tracks)

    Thanks

    The same tracks as the previous release. However, sound-wise the new issue is better with HQCD.
