2.0 out of 5 stars Early Wynton Kelly, October 22, 2009

This review is from: 1948-1951 (Audio CD)

This collection of Hal Singer tunes (the first issued under his own name), is somehow to me worth having out of two reasons: First and foremost because this includes four tracks (maybe some more)that is also early Wynton Kelly-recordings. The other reason - i then think in listening terms - must be that this is another one of those boogie/soul/R&B-albums that became so popular in the late 40's and early 50's. If you are a fan of "mature" Earl Bostic, Slim Gaillard, Louis Jordan, Big Moose Walker and such, this is the line Hal Singer is following, allthough i personally (without beeing a great listening fan to neither)think the previous mentioned are more interesting. The last material in the collection, from 1951, is flirting with plain rock'n'roll.
