Nearly as wide as he was tall, Jimmy Rushing had a voice that could boom, and he
more than held his own against the horn section during his long association with
Count Basies orchestra, and that Basie period (from the late 30s to the early
50s) has to be considered the peak of Rushings recorded output. But that
shouldnt stop anyone from checking out Rushings later work, and this set, drawn
from sessions held in New York in 1954, 1955, and 1957, is a perfect example of
this fine singers assured vocal style, which bridged the gaps between the blues,
swing jazz, and R&B with seemingly effortless ease. Working with an all-star
swing band that included Buddy Tate, Emmett Berry, Lawrence Brown, Vic
Dickenson, Sammy Price, Freddie Green, Walter Page, and Jo Jones, Rushing rolls
through a classic set featuring impressive versions of Leroy Carrs How Long, his
signature tune, Goin to Chicago, a tender See See Rider (where most singers
would belt this chestnut out, Rushing gives it a veneer of sweetness), and the
lovely ballad Dont Cry Baby. The band itself plays it all swing, with just a
touch of jump blues and R&B attitude, but it is Rushings singing that holds it
all together, his vocals again sitting at the juncture of all these different
musical streams as effortlessly as a cork rides out a rainstorm.~Steve Leggett
