  • They Say...

    Often maligned, Waller's many sides from the mid-'30s actually qualify as some the pianist's most relaxed and enjoyable material. The groundbreaking solo and group work of the '20s behind him, Waller recorded reams of amusing and swinging combo tunes in the following decade for Bluebird; 23 of them are heard here. The fare ranges from the predictably tongue-in-cheek ("Big Chief De Sota") to classic standards ("Until the Real Thing Comes Along"). And finding room for some of that famous keyboard work, Waller lets loose on the instrumental "Fractious Fingering." Having fun the old fashioned way.
