Pianist-vocalist
Jay McShann
was in the early part of his comeback when he recorded this superior quartet session with violinist
Claude Williams
(a veteran who was also on the verge of finally being discovered), bassist
Don Thompson
and drummer
Paul Gunther
in 1972. Reissued on CD, the fine swing date is so enjoyable that it makes one wonder how
McShann
and especially
Williams
had remained so obscure for the past 20 years.
(who takes four spirited vocals) leads the quartet through veteran standards and a few blues with the highlights including
"After You've Gone,"
"Yardbird Suite," "Hootie Blues" and "Jumpin' at the Woodside." Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
