Besides helping to invent rock 'n roll with his
hit 'Shake, Rattle and Roll', Big Joe Turner was
one of the most soulful blues shouters of all
time. His best albums married the boogie-woogie
piano stylings of the great Pete Johnson with a
jazzy jumpin' horn section. 'Boss Of The Blues' is
arguably Joe's best recording, in part because he
sang with particular gusto during these 1956
sessions. At the time, 'Boss Of The Blues' marked
a nostalgic return to the jump-blues style that
Turner helped pioneer in the '40s. Besides
Johnson, Boss featured some of Kansas City's
finest ever jazzmen and various members of Count
Basie's band, including Joe Newman (trumpet), Pete
Brown (alto sax), Lawrence Brown (trombone),
Frank Wess (tenor sax) and Freddie Green (guitar).
The bawdy 'Cherry Red' and the rollicking 'Roll
'Em Pete' are my favorite Turner-Johnson
collaborations. Both feature some incredible
playing by the piano master. Turner's versions of
'I Want A Little Girl', 'Low Down Dog', 'You're
Driving Me Crazy', and 'Morning Glories' are
definitive. If I had to compile a list of my 10
favorite albums, 'Boss Of The Blues' would be
there.
