jo Beverly Forbidden

Born in Alabama, the deep south of the US, and cradled to the sounds of delta blues, gospel and country, Beverly Jo decided at a young age to travel across her native America.
The winding turbulent paths of her life finally led her to Europe, where the rainy but tender hearted country of Belgium became a refuge for her. First playing in the streets, then in bars and clubs, her reputation for having a voice of rare sensuality and warmth quickly helped her move on to become one of the most sought after professional vocalists in the old world.

AVID Jazz presents the latest release in our Five Classic Album series with a re-mastered 2CD release from Beverly Kenney, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details. "Sings For Johnny Smith"; "Come Swing With Me"; "Sings With Jimmy Jones & The Basie-Ites"; "Sings For Playboys" and "Like Yesterday".
