| | Ozzie Nelson 1937: With Vocals By Eddy Howard & The Trio CD Ozzie Nelson Discography of CDs
Ozzie Nelson was no Benny Goodman or Jimmy Dorsey, and his band wasn't up to those standards, but they were one of the most popular radio orchestras of their era. This collection of 16 songs, assembled from radio transcription recordings done in 1937, shows why -- they had a subtle but compelling way with a beat, and a mix of elegance and jauntiness that does indeed, as the long-ago Downbeat writer observed, get under your skin. His singing wasn't bad either, a fresh-faced tenor voice, expressive and cheerful in the manner of his idol Rudy Vallee, though by 1937 he'd outgrown Vallee's influence. "Head Over Heels In Love" and "Whirligig" are the best numbers here, but "Swing, Swing Dear Mother-in-Law," "Poor Robinson Crusoe," and "Sophisticated Swing," as well as just about everything else here, has something to recommend it. Charlie Buebeck's baritone and sax and clarinet are highlights among the players, but this was a solid band all the way through. ~ Bruce Eder

PRAYER MEETIN' is vintage Jimmy Smith. With unflappable beatkeeper Donald Bailey, the liquid guitar lines of Quentin Warren, the underrated sax stylings of Stanley Turrentine and the unusual inclusion of a bassist in the person of Sam Jones (Smith usually plays his own bass lines with the foot pedals), the sound on this album is thick, textured and interactive. However, there's no dilution of the intimacy and deep soul associated with Smith.
The jazz/blues amalgam laid out in the title track, "Red Top" and "Picknickin'" is impossible to resist--fat grooves given flight by the keyboardist's intense, syncopated flurries. The ballad "I Almost Lost My Mind," featuring a gorgeous solo by Turrentine, and the calypso boogie of "Stone Cold Dead In The Marketplace" add variety to the set. The one seeming throwaway, a swing version of "When The Saints Go Marching In," is more than compensated for by two additional tracks not included on the original LP, "Lonesome Road" and "Smith Walk." All in all, this disc is a fine example not only of Smith's prodigious abilities, but of how ...
