Description

|
|
|
As a big band and blues singer, Joe Williams (1918–1999) was in a class by himself. In this intimate 1973 session, the master singer joined with the ebullient saxophonist Cannonball Adderley and his band before a live, in-studio audience of knowledgeable and appreciative fans. The performances included three blues, among them a new version of a Williams signature song "The Comeback" (here called "Who She Do"). Williams also sings Duke Ellington's nonpareil statement of family and racial pride, "Heritage"; Tom McIntosh's moving "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow"; "A Beautiful Friendship"; and a medley of "All Blues / Goin' to Chicago Blues / C.C. Rider."
