Cool Cat Blues

Cool Cat Blues

The hardest part of making this album was chosing the material — the musicians kind of chose themselves (anybody you called to perform on a Georgie Fame session immediately said yes). Because Georgie is equally adept at blues, R&B and bebop, we narrowed the repertoire down to our favorites from the books of Louis Jordan, Ray Charles, Mose Allison, Hoagy Carmichael, Van Morrison (Georgie’s band-mate at the time) and of course several of his sophisticated originals
