This issue gathered two glorious records by the great male jazz vocalist - the lyrical and romatic James Rushing, one of the greatest of the Kansas City blues shouters. "Conceived as musical autobiographies, these great albums remake many of the songs he made jazz standards with Count Basie". - Will Friedwald
Jimmy Rushing is accompanied here by a fine little band including among others Emmett Berry on trumpet, Lawrence Brown and Vic Dickenson on trombone, Buddy Tate on tenor sax, Sammy Price or Pete Johnson on piano, and two legendary members of the original Basie rhythm section in the old years: Walter Page and Jo Jones. In John Hammond's words, these recordings by Jimmy Rushing "are, I believe, among the best he ever made".
Recorded in New York City on December 1954, August 1955 and March 1957.
