This review is from: At His Best : Sweet and Lowdown (Audio CD)

This compilation offers a valid take on what many consider Gypsy or Continental Jazz. Listening to this artist is more impressive when you realise he is playing all of his leads with only 2 fingers, his ring and fourth fingers paralyzed and used only for chords. His most popular compositions have become jazz standards. Most of them included in this collection. Highly recommend.
