They Say...
Al Hibbler was Duke Ellington's main male singer during 1943-1951. During the same period, he led seven sessions of his own, frequently using Duke Ellington sidemen. In fact, among his supporting cast on this excellent CD of formerly rare material (recorded originally for Aladdin, Sunrise, Miracle, and Chess) are such Ellington sidemen as Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, Taft Jordan, Ray Nance, Al Sears, Ben Webster, and Billy Strayhorn, in addition to Tab Smith, Kenny Dorham, and Jack McVea. Hibbler is heard throughout in prime form, digging into such songs as "I Got It Bad," "Fat and Forty" (a blues heard in two versions), "Solitude," "Trees," "Tonight I Shall Sleep," and "Poor Butterfly." Although somewhat eccentric at times, Hibbler was a talented singer with a style of his own. This CD is a perfect introduction to his talents.
