Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary former Count Basie vocalist, renowned as 'Mr. Five by Five,' delivers an effortlessly swinging session dripping with profound blues feeling. Backed by an all-star ensemble including Shirley Scott on organ, his powerful, booming tenor voice dictates a relentlessly joyful and rhythmic pace. The album perfectly captures the exhilarating intersection of classic Kansas City swing and electric jump blues.
