Jimmy Witherspoon • Singin' The Blues



Review by Scott Yanow:
Jimmy Witherspoon is heard in superior form throughout the two Pacific Jazz sessions included here. With fine backup and short solos from either Harry "Sweets" Edison (in top form) or Gerald Wilson on trumpet, both Teddy Edwards and Jimmy Allen on tenors, Henry McDode or Hampton Hawes on piano, rhythm guitarist Herman Mitchell, bassist Jimmy Hamilton and drummer Jimmy Miller, Spoon digs into such numbers as "When I've Been Drinkin'," "Then the Lights Go Out," "There's Good Rockin' Tonight" and a remake of his big hit "'Tain't Nobody's Business." The closing "Midnight Blues" is an instrumental, giving the band a chance to stretch out a bit. Recommended.

Reseña de Scott Yanow:
Jimmy Witherspoon se escucha en forma superior en las dos sesiones de Pacific Jazz incluidas aquí. Con finos respaldos y cortos solos de Harry "Sweets" Edison (en plena forma) o Gerald Wilson en trompeta, ambos Teddy Edwards y Jimmy Allen en tenores, Henry McDode o Hampton Hawes en piano, el guitarrista rítmico Herman Mitchell, el bajista Jimmy Hamilton y el baterista Jimmy Miller, Spoon profundiza en números como "When I've Been Drinkin'", "Then the Lights Go Out", "There's Good Rockin' Tonight" y un remake de su gran éxito "Tain't Nobody's Business". " El cierre de "Midnight Blues" es un instrumental, dando a la banda la oportunidad de estirarse un poco. Recomendado.
