Tracks list

Pianist Jay McShann has spent much of his career being classified as a blues
pianist when in fact he is a flexible swing stylist. On this excellent release,
McShann appears with two groups of all-stars. His original Crazy Legs and Friday
Strut and Georgia on My Mind find him joined by Herbie Mann (on flute and
tenor), baritonist Gerry Mulligan and a rhythm section that includes guitarist
John Scofield. The other selections (two standards, Duke Ellingtons Blue Feeling
and McShanns own Jumpin the Blues) are performed by an octet also featuring
Mann, altoist Earle Warren, trumpeter Doc Cheatham, trombonist Dicky Wells and
Scofield. The unusual grouping of swing, bop and modern stylists is successful
(the material is pretty basic) and Janis Siegels guest appearance for a vocal
duet with McShann on Aint Misbehavin works.
