Legendaryguitarist Tiny Grimes made his big comeback to the jazz/blues recording fieldin 1958 with these three albums he made for the Prestige/Swingville series.Jazzwise, he had stayed away from the studios for a long time, playing rock nroll in Midwestern nightclubs.
In thesefine sessions, the beat and blues-drenched, dirty sound of Tinys guitar isescorted by a group of outstanding jazzmen including pianist Ray Bryant, tenorsColeman Hawkins and Eddie Lockjaw Davis, reedman Jerome Richardson, trombonistJ.C. Higginbotham, bassist Wendell Marshall, and drummer Osie Johnson. Wheremostif not allguitarists were using six-string models, Tiny continued to use afour-string box. Theres nothing I cant do with the four except maybe in playingrhythm. A lot of the cats today are only using four of their six stringsanyway.
This isblues guitar with a fine, rousing sound and the kind of beat that colored theearly rock n roll bands, assembled, for the first time ever on CD, as thecomplete 1958-1959 Tiny Grimes sessions. Enjoy.
