Personnel: Jimmy Witherspoon, Bill Watrous, Pepper Adams, Roger Kellaway, Richard Davis, Mel Lewis. Recorded in 1956-66. Personnel: Jimmy Witherspoon (vocals, guitar); Pepper Adams (baritone saxophone); Bill Watrous (trombone); Roger Kellaway (piano); Mel Lewis (drums). Recording information: New York, NY (1965-1966). Despite the title, this actually leans considerably further to the jazz side of Witherspoon's muse than the blues one, with backing by Pepper Adams on baritone sax, Roger Kellaway on piano, Bill Watrous on trombone, Richard Davis on bass, and Mel Lewis on drums. The songs, too, are much more in the jazz/pop vein than the blues/jazz one, heavy on standards by the likes of Johnny Mercer, the Gershwins, and Ellington. Witherspoon's one of the masters of closing-time bluesy jazz, and he doesn't let anyone down on that account on this relaxed (but not sleepy) session. ~ Richie Unterberger
