5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Piano Jazz, October 13, 2001

This review is from: 1944-1945 (Audio CD)

This is the second installment of Classics chronological review of the recordings of great Chicago pianist Joe Sullivan, and if the tracks are not as well known as those in the first volume, they equal them in quality.

Tracks 1 - 8 are a beautiful set of solos recorded for the Capitol label, all, "Squeeze Me" apart, ballads. Tracks 9 - 10 feature a different side of Sullivan, his ability as a boogie pianist. 11-14 are undistinguished quintette sides. The remainder of the CD feature strong solos from 1945 Folkways and Disc sessions. Again ballads predominate, but dixieland warhorse "Fidgety Feet" is given two powerful performances as is Waller standard "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now" and Sullivan displays his blues credentials in "The Chimes".

This CD showcases the lyrical side of Joe Sullivan, and should be of interest to all lovers of jazz piano.
