_______________________________________________________________________
This CD has highlights from Slim Gaillard's 1946-1947 and
1951-1954 recordings for the Verve label. A fine Charlie
Christian-inspired guitarist, an adequate pianist, and a
unique jive singer, Gaillard was always in his own category.
Some of the selections on this CD are hilarious, and
highlights include the four-part "Opera in Vout," "Serenade
to a Poodle" (which of course has plenty of barking),
"Laughing in Rhythm," "Chicken Rhythm," "Potato Chips," and
the previously unreleased (and modestly titled) "Genius,"
which features Gaillard overdubbing himself on trumpet,
trombone, tenor, vibes, piano, organ, bass, drums, and tap
dancing. Although Gaillard's heyday was really the mid-'40s,
this CD is quite memorable.
