Bracey,Ishman Complete Recorded Works (1928-1929) CD

There is something hard and uncompromising about the personality of Ishman Bracey, something challenging and direct. It is evident in the known photographs of him when he was in his late twenties, staring fixedly at the photographer. In one shot his expression is steady, even sullen; in the more familiar cut from an old Victor catalogue he struggled a mirthless and unfriendly smile.
