Certes, végètent sur le marché (presque) autant de compilations de Bessie Smith qu'elle n'a enregistré de faces pour sa compagnie discographique de toujours (à savoir près de cent-soixante). Mais dans cette jungle de coffrets et autres albums à vil prix, The Essential a toutes les apparences d'une oasis roborative.
Les trente-six chansons proposées couvrent donc l'entièreté de son parcours (de 1923 à 1933, quelque chose comme une décade prodigieuse). Sont également présents, parmi les figures majeures qui ont croisé la route artistique de l'Impératrice du Blues, toutes les pointures incontournables ou presque, de Louis Armstrong à Benny Goodman, en passant par Coleman Hawkins.
La sélection rappelle aussi quelle femme forte devait être, et a été, la chanteuse (« I Ain't Goin' to Play Second Fiddle »). Enfin, le menu décline toutes les facettes de celle qui offrit le blues au monde : carrément swing (« After You've Gone »), ou marmonnant tel Buddy Guy perdu dans le marais (« St. Louis Blues »). Avec une mention spéciale à quelques notules égrillardes (« Need a Sugar in My Bowl »), démontrant avec jovialité que la Bessie ne répugnait pas toujours à évoluer quelque part sous la ceinture.
Un album historique et artistiquement merveilleux, ce qui fait deux bonnes raisons de se le procurer.

Chronique
Certes, végètent sur le marché (presque) autant de compilations de Bessie Smith qu'elle n'a enregistré de faces pour sa compagnie discographique de toujours (à savoir près de cent-soixante). Mais dans cette jungle de coffrets et autres albums à vil prix, The Essential a toutes les apparences d'une oasis roborative.
Les trente-six chansons proposées couvrent donc l'entièreté de son parcours (de 1923 à 1933, quelque chose comme une décade prodigieuse). Sont également présents, parmi les figures majeures qui ont croisé la route artistique de l'Impératrice du Blues, toutes les pointures incontournables ou presque, de Louis Armstrong à Benny Goodman, en passant par Coleman Hawkins.
La sélection rappelle aussi quelle femme forte devait être, et a été, la chanteuse (« I Ain't Goin' to Play Second Fiddle »). Enfin, le menu décline toutes les facettes de celle qui offrit le blues au monde : carrément swing (« After You've Gone »), ou marmonnant tel Buddy Guy perdu dans le marais (« St. Louis Blues »). Avec une mention spéciale à quelques notules égrillardes (« Need a Sugar in My Bowl »), démontrant avec jovialité que la Bessie ne répugnait pas toujours à évoluer quelque part sous la ceinture.
Un album historique et artistiquement merveilleux, ce qui fait deux bonnes raisons de se le procurer.
