Ethel Ennis

180-gram VIRGIN VINYL

LIMITED EDITION of 550 COPIES

The Complete ALBUM + 2 BONUS TRACKS

Released in 1955, Lullabies for Losers marked vocalist Ethel Ennis’ debut album. Highly talented, Ennis recorded a series of wonderful albums in the following decade, and collaborated with such stars as Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Count Basie, but after that, disenchanted with the creative direction of the label and artistmanagement, she only made sporadic recordings and rarely left her hometownof Baltimore, Maryland.

On this LP she is backed by a small group featuring piano legend Hank Jones and Kenny Clarke, who was one of the greatest drummers in modern jazz.
