www.divshare.com/download/11486416-1b2

This lady is one of my favorite female jazz singers,so cool and relaxed, and almost dreamy in her way of singing.
Annette Hanshaw was one of the first great white female jazz singers and ranked beside such names as Ethel Waters, Bessie Smith & The Boswell Sisters in the late 1920,s.

This tune comes from an English 78 rpm Columbia Record nr 1812 D, and recorded in 1929, New York City,USA. Have fun.
