Mildred Bailey Her Greatest Performances 1929-1946 3 LP (mono) box set is a Columbia Records Collector Series reissued in 1981 featuring The Benny Goodman Orchestra and musicians including the Dorsey Brothers, Gene Krupa, and Artie Shaw.
Mildred Bailey was one of the greatest jazz singers in the Swing Era. She is the most famous jazz singer of the 1930sand ‘40s that you’ve never heard of. She provided the template for the "girl singers" from Ella Fitzgerald to Anita O'Day and today remains a cult figure loved by her fans.
She started from the speakeasies of Spokane and Seattle, made her way to Los Angeles, and then to the Savoy Ballroom and Stork Club in New York City where she worked with the most famous big bands of the era.
Mildred Bailey was inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame in 1989. Her contributions to jazz were commemorated by a United States Postal Stamp issued in 1994.
