/Jimmy Witherspoon. Personnel: Big Joe Turner, Jimmy Witherspoon, Ike Williams, Red Holloway, Lee Allen, Jerry Jummonville, Bobby Blevins, Gary Bell, Rudy Brown, Al Duncan. Recorded on April 11, 1985. Personnel: Jimmy Witherspoon (vocals); Big Joe Turner (vocals); Gary Bell (guitar); Red Holloway (alto saxophone); Lee Allen (tenor saxophone); Jerry Jumonville (baritone saxophone); Ike Williams (trumpet); Bobby Blevins (keyboards); Al Duncan (drums). Audio Remasterer: Phil DeLancie. Liner Note Author: Nat Hentoff. Recording information: Group IV Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA (04/11/1985). Photographer: Phil Stern. This CD reissue, which is subtitled "Joe Turner Meets Jimmy Witherspoon," does not quite deliver on its promise. Turner (who would pass away within a year) and Witherspoon only actually meet up on the first two numbers and, other than some interplay on "Patcha, Patcha," the matchup generates few sparks. However the individual features (two songs apiece) are excellent, particularly Witherspoon's "You Got Me Runnin"' and Turner's "The Chicken and the Hawk." In addition there are many fine solos from altoist Red Holloway, Lee Allen on tenor and guitarist Gary Bell. This is a worthwhile and obviously historic set, recommended as much to blues as jazz collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
