Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Although Fats Waller presented himself as a comic figure in his many compositions, he was a musician of high caliber, who brought great skill and virtuosity to both his composing and playing. He was also the first jazz organist of importance. He played stride piano with a sophisticated style that influenced pianists as different as Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell and Count Basie, who even took lessons from him. His colorful up-tempo playing and humorous vocals made him popular with audiences oblivious to the magnitude of his musical skills. On this second volume on Naxos Jazz Legends, Fats Waller’s inimitable and infectiously enjoyable piano style and vocals may be enjoyed to the full.
