26 de jul. de 2006 · Editorial Reviews. In many ways Julia was a pioneer of Rhythm & Blues, she had her own unique vocal style that embodied what was then a certain Kansas City sound. Her piano playing also contained different traits, this combination of talents made her extremely popular during the forties and fifties.
Julia Lee was the queen of Kansas City blues when the city was a center of the jazz and blues universe. A pianist and singer in the first half of the 20th century, she was a major star — even if her name has since been largely forgotten except among music historians and jazz/blues aficionados.
Julia Lee’s legendary status in Kansas City jazz history has long been upheld by her Capitol Records hits, which she referred to as “the songs my mother taught me not to sing.”
