Review: Josephine Baker was born just after the turn of the last century and lived until 1975. In that time she rose to bocce a celebrated Parisian star but also an iconic global performer. This superb The Very Best Of album encapsulates her illustrious career on the mic and shows that she was a truly original and pioneering talent. Baker broke down barriers and crossed genres with her work and significantly shaped the jazz sound of her era. This compilation includes iconic songs from her peak, such as 'C'est La Le Vrai Bonheur', the risque 'Don't Touch My Tomatoes' and the wonderful 'De Temps En Temps' which together make for a comprehensive introduction to the music of this legendary star.
