 Great Sound Quality From A Wonderful Pianist, Singer, Composer & Comedian August 8, 2008
Daniel B. Pepper (New York)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This three-cd set boasts the best sound quality I've ever heard as far as the great Fats Waller is concerned. There's a mixture of songs which he wrote, startlingly wonderful piano playing, and Mr. Waller covering popular songs of the day, with his own unique take on each of them. There are many Fats Waller sets out there, so I can't say that this is the best one. However, I picked this up for only seventeen dollars (on Amazon.com, it's selling in new condition for under nine dollars!), the sound quality is gorgeous, the liner notes are decent, though not extensive, and I have absolutely no complaints about the collection. The quintessential recording of "Ain't Misbehavin'", which was featured in the classic film, "Stormy Weather", is on this album. If you are curious about one of the greatest piano players of the 20th century, and a man who was a huge influence on the genius, Art Tatum, pick this set up immediately!
