Jimmy Witherspoon and Jay McShann - Jimmy Witherspoon Jay McShann
Review by Matsumoto Kya
The album Jimmy Witherspoon Jay McShann, a collaborative effort between blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon and jazz pianist Jay McShann, is a masterpiece that showcases the best of both artists. Witherspoon's soulful voice blends perfectly with McShann's intricate piano playing, resulting in a collection of tracks that are both emotionally powerful and musically impressive.
The album features a mix of classic blues standards and original compositions, with each track showcasing the unique talents of Witherspoon and McShann. The opening track, "Ain't Nobody's Business," sets the tone for the album with its raw energy and passionate vocals. Other standout tracks include "Kansas City," a lively and upbeat tune that highlights McShann's impressive piano skills, and "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer," a soulful ballad that showcases Witherspoon's powerful voice.

Notes
- Black Lion logo.
- Although Jimmy Witherspoon gets first billing on this CD reissue, he actually only has vocals on 11 of the 24 selections and is just present on three of the seven sessions; high points include two versions of his signature song "Ain't Nobody's Business." Pianist Jay McShann is the real leader of these Los Angeles recordings and the brand of music he performs mixes together swing, blues, slight touches of bebop, and early R&B.
- Recorded at Los Angeles Ca. 1947-1949.
- Release date 1959.
- Reissue on CD 1992.
