This review is from: More Radio Rarities [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] (Audio CD)

Reviewing recently Fats' "live at the Yacht Club" CD,I wrote that it was Fats' only live recording. That was a mistake,but I didn't know this new CD."More radio rarities" consists of two different radio broadcasts : a studio session (tracks 9 to 13) destinated to be used by radios, and live recordings from the Panther Room,Hotel Sherman,in Chicago. The studio session,recorded at NBC studios,NYC,July 5,1938,gives you new versions of some themes Fats used to play frequently: "ain't misbehavin'","the sheik of Araby","handful of keys","hold my hand". The live session from the Panther Room,recorded Dec.3 and 10,1940,is very interesting because Fats plays unique versions of themes never before played by him.The group consist of Bugs Hamilton,tp,Al Casey,g,Gene Sedric,ts,cl,Cedric Wallace,b, and Slick Jones,dms.As always, Fats is in a great mood,swinging through the hits of the moment,"frenesi","Lila Lou","perfidia" (if someone told me I would someday listen to this tune by Fats,I'd never have believed it!!),"dark eyes","Honolulu bundle",or "when you and I were young,Maggie",a tune he recorded during the immense "fine arabian stuff" session.The only shadow is the presence of a vocalist,Miss Kay Perry,who's singing is miles and miles away from swing;but she only "sings" on a couple of tunes,and this doesn't have to prevent you from buying this great record.Another hour of pure joy by the great Mr Fats Waller.
