4.0 out of 5 stars He Makes it Sound so Easy, January 1, 2011

By 

Harry "Harry" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fats Waller Volume 3 (Audio CD)

He sounds like he's just having a good time, playing, singing, and kibbitzing with the listener. He makes music that sounds like he was born at the piano bench. Even the cuts with a band behind him have that same exuberance and joy. As this is the only one of the sets I have, I can't compare this period in Waller's career to other periods. I don't know if he's at "the peak of his powers" during this set. And when it comes to the sound, I have to say it's as good as any of the Mosaic sets I have featuring music from the 1930s. The only criticism I have, and it may just be me, but sometimes it's hard to listen to a whole disk in one sitting, as there is not much change of mood. Even the sad songs have are fun and happy underneath.

All in all though, I do recommend this set highly.

Given the vintage of these recordings, they are surprisingly lively and fresh--its Fats at the top of his great talent. They are also surprisingly varied lyrical. The recording quality is excellent for the mid thirties. Its a winner!
