Teddy swings, December 13, 2005
This review is from: Elegant Mr Wilson 1933-1945 (Audio CD)
Teddy and his companions (Billie Holiday, Benny Carter, the cream of the crop!) swing big time on every track of this early 40s compilation.
Personally, I dig the notion of an sophisticated, polished art, but still true to its roots.
What you get here is "jazz de chambre" before time, classic standards by the classy Mr Wilson at the height of his power !
believe me brothers, white folks can swing too !
You may check Art Pepper, Herb Ellis, Dave Brubeck... for more.
