Much admired for his soulful dignity and poise, Jess Stacy came up with Eddie Condon in Chicago and soon distinguished himself as a masterful jazz pianist for all occasions. This wonderful overview of Stacy's heyday covers the decade from 1935 to 1945 without any attempt to follow a chronology. Stacy is heard with bassist Israel Crosby and drummer Gene Krupa; with hot little bands led by Lionel Hampton, Pee Wee Russell, and Bud Freeman; with Eddie Condon's Windy City Seven and George Wettling's Chicago Rhythm Kings; with bands led by Bob Crosby and Benny Goodman; accompanying his wife, vocalist Lee Wiley, with Muggsy Spanier providing cornet obbligato; leading his own short-lived orchestra; in three duets with drummer Gordon "Specs" Powell and as a solo pianist on three themes composed by Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke. This treasure trove of classic swing music is guaranteed to please even those who believe they've heard it all. ~ arwulf arwulf
