For this solo piano set, the great veteran
Art Hodes
pays tribute to
Bessie Smith
and (to a lesser extent)
Ma Rainey
by performing music that they recorded in the 1920s. Although the emphasis is on slower blues, he also romps on
"Alexander's Ragtime Band,"
"At a Georgia Camp Meeting" and a memorable version of "Cakewalkin' Babies From Home." Virtually every
album is well worth picking up by collectors of pre-bop and blues; this increasingly hard-to-find LP is no exception. ~ Scott Yanow
