The record
A tight, blues-soaked date from a guitarist better known for holding down rhythm behind Fats Waller, here stepping out front with a working combo cut live in the studio. Recorded for the short-lived Status imprint, it's a lean glimpse of swing-era craft filtered through an easy, after-hours quartet feel.
