Today Annette Hanshaw has a bit of a cult following in England but is unremembered in her native America. Her recordings reveal the swinging syncopations of the jazz age performed by some of the greatest musicians who ever lived. They also provide the roots of the big band sound which will be developed by the musicians on these recordings. And providing the anchor on these songs for all this raging musical talent is the sweet voice of Annette Hanshaw.
She was viewed by the public as the epitome of a flapper.
