Dinah Washington

Blues
BluesJazzPop

Dinah Washington is a Blues and Jazz act. Their catalogue also touches Pop. Their sound grew out of Brook Benton, Big Maybelle, Lil Green, Pee Wee Crayton and Fats Waller. Those roots explain a lot about how Dinah Washington arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Carmen McRae, Nancy Wilson, Peggy Lee, Etta James and Betty Carter, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Naturally 7, Amy Winehouse, Anita O'Day, Esther Phillips and Alberta Adams, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 52 connections around Dinah Washington, reaching back through Brook Benton and forward to Naturally 7.
