Joe Williams: A Swingin' Night At Birdland (1962)
1961, after six years as one of the main attractions of Count Basie's orchestra, Williams (with Basie's blessing) went out on his own. One of his first sessions was this live recording, cut at Birdland in June,1962, with a strong quintet that featured trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, Jimmy Forrest on tenor, Sir Charles Thompson (piano), Joe Benjamin (bass) and Charlie Persip (drums). In this collection, just as in all his club appearances, Joe wails the blues as well as some standards in the style that won him fame with the Basie band.
