Our Take

Hadda Brooks, the unsung siren of the 1940s and 50s, has finally been given her due with "Out Of The Blue: The Singles & Albums Collection 1945-53." This retrospective compilation showcases Brooks' sultry vocals and masterful piano skills that have been hidden in the shadows for far too long.

Tracks like "Don't Take Your Love From Me" and "I Hadn't Anyone Till You" transport listeners back to a time when jazz was king and Brooks reigned supreme. Her smooth, velvety voice is like a warm hug on a rainy day, wrapping you up in a blanket of nostalgia and comfort.

But don't be fooled by Brooks' sweet demeanor - she can also pack a punch with tracks like "Jump Back, Honey, Jump Back" and "Swingin' The Boogie." Her infectious energy and lively piano work will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time.

Overall, "Out Of The Blue" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their collection. Hadda Brooks may have been out of the spotlight for too long, but this compilation proves that her music is timeless and deserves to be heard by a new generation of listeners. So grab a cocktail, dim the lights, and let Hadda Brooks take you on a journey back to a bygone era of music magic.
