A Great, Quirky Vocal Jazz CD
The old man's piano playing is aggressive, expressive jazz. Mose's music defies categorization. But the structure and topics of his songs, and his manner of singing them come from the Blues. The songs are as funny as their titles suggest: Gettin' Paid Waltz; Certified Senior Citizen; etc. But serious messages are behind them: not PC and not written to sell records or win awards. The Blues Police break down his door in Ever Since I Stole the Blues. This cd has most of the songs that Mose performs on the road. If Mose's piano playing isn't as awe-inspiring as Marcus Roberts' Alone with Three Giants or Jason Moran's Modernistic, and his singing doesn't take your breath away like Cassandra Wilson's Blue Light 'Til Dawn, they will definitely entertain you and you will laugh! A similarly quirky fun cd is Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive. Approach Jazz Profile with an open mind and enjoy!.
