Personnel: Big Joe Turner, Blue Mitchell, Rashid Jamal Ali, Wild Bill Moore, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Lloyd Glenn, Gildo Mahones, Greg Beck, Gary Bell, Lawrence Gales, Bruno Carr. Recorded on February 8, 1977. Personnel: Big Joe Turner (vocals); Gary Bell, Greg Beck (guitar); Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson (alto saxophone); Rashied Ali , Wild Bill Moore (tenor saxophone); Blue Mitchell (trumpet); Lloyd Glenn (piano); Gildo Mahones (organ); Bruno Carr (drums). Recording information: Sun West Studios, Los Angeles, CA (02/08/1977). This is one of Big Joe Turner's best albums of his last period. Turner is in fine form and joined by some superb blues and jazz musicians. Altoist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson (pity that he didn't have a vocal duet with Turner) and trumpeter Blue Mitchell get some solo space as does the veteran R&B tenor Wild Bill Moore, pianist Lloyd Glenn and guitarist Gary Bell. Mitchell can be heard on many of the tunes setting hot ensemble riffs. There are some loose spots but the spirit is definitely there and Turner's voice can be heard still in its prime on such tunes as "Jelly Jelly Blues," "Shake It and Break It" and "St. Louis Blues." Fun music. ~ Scott Yanow
