Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Don’t Let It Bother You

Extracurricular assignments will keep me busy for a while. The Rifftides staff will supply items to inform or entertain you. There’s not much information in this one, but it may lift your spirits if, say, snow collapsed your roof or Julian Assange leaked one of your cables.

Fats Waller in 1934 with Gene Sedric, tenor saxophone; Herman Autrey, trumpet; Harry Dial, drums; Billy Taylor, Sr., bass. I’ve always been impressed with Autrey’s ability to insert lovely little obligato licks among phrases of Waller’s vocal. “Don’t Let it Bother You” is included in this CD collection.
