Count Basie and Joe Williams
What can you say about two of the greatest jazz artists of all time. Some younger people may remember Joe Williams as Claire Huxtable’s dad on “The Cosby Show” from the 80’s but he is a jazz icon. What happens when you put two jazz greats together for some music? Pure enjoyment!
I bought this album the first time around after seeing Joe in London it knocked me out then thirty years later it is still fresh as a Daisy. In the mid seventies on a visit to New York once again I heard him sing this time in the Half Note Club to a small audience no words can describe that evening it will stay with me for ever the World is a poorer place without him – Roger Dembina
1. Thou Swell
2. There Will Never Be Another You
3. Our Love Is Here To Stay
4. 'S Wonderful
5. My Baby Just Cares
6. Nevertheless
7. Singin' In The Rain
8. I'm Beginning To See The Light
9. A Fine Romance
10. Come Rain Or Come Shine
11. I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me
12. This Can't Be Love
