Jimmy Rushing • Rushing Lullabies

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Jimmy Rushing recorded several albums for Columbia during 1959-60; although in his mid-50s, he was still in peak form. This CD reissue (which has a previously unissued "The Road of Love") finds Rushing joined by both pianist Ray Bryant and organist Sir Charles Thompson, Buddy Tate on tenor, guitarist Skeeter Best, bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Jo Jones. The combination works quite well, and Rushing, in addition to a few blues, puts his own stamp on such numbers as "'Deed I Do," "Pink Champagne," "I Cried For You" and even "Good Rockin' Tonight." Bryant and Tate in particular have strong solos (both are excellent on "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me"), and with Rushing in such good shape, this is an easily enjoyable mainstream swing session.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Jimmy Rushing grabó varios álbumes para Columbia durante 1959-60; aunque rondaba los 50 años, seguía en plena forma. En esta reedición en CD (que incluye un tema inédito, «The Road of Love»), Rushing está acompañado por el pianista Ray Bryant y el organista Sir Charles Thompson, Buddy Tate al tenor, el guitarrista Skeeter Best, el bajista Gene Ramey y el batería Jo Jones. La combinación funciona bastante bien, y Rushing, además de algunos blues, pone su propio sello en números como «“Deed I Do», «Pink Champagne», «I Cried For You» e incluso «Good Rockin” Tonight». Bryant y Tate en particular tienen fuertes solos (ambos son excelentes en «I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me»), y con Rushing en tan buena forma, esta es una sesión de swing mainstream fácilmente disfrutable.
