Beryl Booker's album, 1946-1952, is a captivating journey through the early years of the pianist's career. The album features 18 tracks showcasing Booker's virtuosic piano playing and her ability to lead a band with precision and energy.
Each track on the album is a testament to Booker's versatility as a musician.
