Review by Scott Yanow
This Black & Blue set was pianist Gerald Wiggins' first recording session as a leader in 13 years, even though he had been quite active in the Los Angeles area during that time. Recorded in Paris with bassist Major Holley (who has a few solos on which he sings along with his bass) and drummer Ed Thigpen, Wig performs some standards (including "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," "Lover," and "There Is No Greater Love"), obscurities, and a couple of originals. The music always swings and has plenty of subtle surprises.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este set de Black & Blue fue la primera sesión de grabación del pianista Gerald Wiggins como líder en 13 años, a pesar de que había sido bastante activo en el área de Los Ángeles durante ese tiempo. Grabado en París con el bajista Major Holley (que tiene unos cuantos solos en los que canta junto con su bajo) y el baterista Ed Thigpen, Wig interpreta algunos estándares (incluyendo "You Are the Sunshine of My Life", "Lover" y "There Is No Greater Love"), oscuridades y un par de originales. La música siempre se balancea y tiene muchas sorpresas sutiles.
