Winning the lottery with only 4 hits ;-)

This disc is for me a (musical) "winning the lottery": there are four different musicians whose music I appreciate independently. And these four produce an album together and the album is then also an irresistibly swinging stunt. What you want (in the case of I) more?

- I love Van Morrison's voice (Van Morrison & Mose Allison's duet on the song "Perfect Moment" with their so contrasting voices is just amazing and like almost better than the original to me)
- I like Georgie Fame's glorious Balu-like voice and bluesy-jazzy swinging organ
- I like Ben Sidran's Groove and its distinctive piano playing
- And to the great, unique items Songs of Mose Allison do you actually need to lose another word

The interpretations of the songs are Allison Mose Allison and his lyrics, his swing, his unusual rhythm do justice. Everything what makes these 4 musicians, can be found on this album. The songs seem a whole (thanks Georgie Fame's organ) all a bit warmer & softer & not quite as nasty as the original pieces from Mose Allison. It is grooving & swings at every turn and ends, the accompanying musicians are excellent and the texts of Mose Allison bring a smile & think & be amazed.
