Prez & Joe, featuring Joe Williams
Beskrivning:Tenoristen Dave Pell gjorde med Lester "Prez" Youngs bevarade solon vad Med Flory och Supersax gjorde med Charlie Parkers solon, arrangerade dem för en saxsektion. Här har han engagerat gamle Basie-sångaren Joe Williams att göra egna versioner av de låtar Jimmy Rushing och Billie Holiday spelade in tillsammans med Prez. Gruppen Prez Conference består av Dave Pell, Bob Cooper & Bob Hardaway ts, Bob Efford bars, Nat Pierce p, Al Hendrickson g, Monty Budwig b, Frank Capp dr.
"...their matchup with singer Joe Williams is quite enjoyable. Since Young was in Count Basie's orchestra when Jimmy Rushing was the vocalist, Joe Williams has a rare opportunity to give his own interpretation to Rushing and Billie Holiday classics like "I May Be Wrong," "You Can Depend on Me," "If Dreams Come True" and "Easy Living." A delightful and swinging date." (Scott Yanow, allmusic.com)
