Leo Watson / Earl Hines / Shorty Sherock
Pre-Bop
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1975 Original, With Debossed Promo Stamp To Top Right Corner. "These Often-reissued Performances (Originally Cut For Bob Thiele's Signature Label) Are Worth Acquiring In One Form Or Another. This Lp Has Three Unrelated Sessions: A Fats Waller Tribute Date By Pianist Earl Hines's Trio (With Guitarist Al Casey And Bassist Oscar Pettiford), Four Numbers From An All-star Swing Group Headed By Trumpeter Shorty Sherock And (Most Memorably) A Set In Which The Eccentric Vocalist Leo Watson Interacts With Trombonist Vic Dickenson; Their Version Of "Jingle Bells" Is A Classic Of Its Kind."
