A "Jazz Baby," Sung by a Jazz Baby
Here is a wonderful jazz song, sung by a supreme jazz artist, assisted by clever jazz interpreters. Considerable combination, or as Shakespeare would have said: "Jazz you like it."
When Sophie Tucker gets hold of a bit of jazz she makes a riot out of it, and in this particular song she is in her element. She admits it's the best jazz number she has ever had. and that's saying a good deal, because she's tried 'em all.
And that's what they all say. Jazz songs may come and jazz songs may go, and they do, with great rapidity, but this is the baby of them all, sure enough. And, as is necessary in the case of all babies, it wears well. And as should always be the case with babies, the authors have every reason to be proud of it.

Miss Tucker and her orchestra are at Reisenweber's and doing nicely, thank you. You can hear them any time in the Sophie Tucker room, where Miss Tucker is entertainer de luxe and hostess de looks. Sophie's successful appearance at Reisenweber's is a fitting climax to her many pleasantly remembered seasons in vaudeville and musical comedy. She makes things merry up there and a pleasant time is had by all.
So we rather think that our comment is pretty nearly correct—a jazz baby sung by a jazz baby.
By the way, word has just come from Paris that the jazz craze is growing there by the minute. When the let-down came, after four years of terrible hardship, they were ready for someting new and different, and the American jazz just filled the bill.
