The Quarantined Jazz Voyager

This Jazz Voyager is still being very cautious about masking indoors and social distancing as the new B variants are cropping up around the world and are now hitting the shores of America. In light of these occurrences, today we are going to listen to the 1955 Ethel Ennis album recorded titled Lullabies For Losers that was released the same year on the Jubilee record label.

The cover was designed by Si Leichman, the liner notes were written by Mort Goode, and the photography by Charles Varon.
