| Fats Waller : If You Got To Ask, You Ain't Got It! |
| This excellent 3-CD retrospective of Fats Waller and his Rhythm assembles some of
the cream of his massive output on Victor and Bluebird. The set is thematically presented on three discs. The first is made up of compositions by Fats with well known pieces like "Honeysuckle Rose", "I'm Crazy 'Bout My
Baby" and lesser known sides "Ain't Nothing To It" and "Lost Love". The second disc contains instrumental sides by the Rhythm, piano solos, pipe-organ solos and the neglected Louisiana Sugar Babes session with Jabbo Smith and James P. Johnson. The last disc features a sampling of how Fats
handles the many pop tunes of the day including the one Columbia side with
Jack Teagarden on "You Rascal You", "Let's Get Away From It All" and his hits "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself A Letter" and an alternate take on "Hold Tight". |
