Review

Between 1916 and 1919, Marion Harris was the first female vocalist to record songs with "jazz" and "blues" in their titles. Performing the songs of African-American songwriters such as Creamer and Layton, Harris represents a pivotal moment in recording history, when ragtime and jazz met up. When she returned in 1927 to the label where she began her career, Marion Harris brought a new and understated style of singing to bear on hits that would become tomorrow's classics.

Now in its second edition, this collection of Marion Harris' songs has been completely remastered and features a bonus track, a rejected take of one of Ms. Harris' best-known songs, "When Alexander Takes His Ragtime Band to France." The accompanying notes have been expanded to 20 pages, featuring several rare illustrations and new revelations about Marion's early life. Archeophone proves again why they are the leaders in reissuing acoustic-era material.
