    About this album

    A Tribute To Ethel Waters is a poised and elegant tribute album that brings Diahann Carroll’s supple vocal style to classic jazz and blues material associated with Ethel Waters. Backed by Mercer Ellington directing the Duke Ellington Orchestra, the record blends polished big band arranging with Carroll’s expressive phrasing, giving familiar songs a graceful late-1970s sheen. Released in 1978, it stands as a respectful celebration of Waters’ legacy while also highlighting Carroll’s command as a jazz singer beyond her work on stage and screen. The result is a stylish meeting of voice, orchestra and repertory that honours tradition without feeling nostalgic.
