Personnel: Fats Waller (vocals, piano, celesta, organ); Adelaide Hall (vocals); Alan Ferguson (guitar); Ian Shepherd (violin, tenor saxophone); Jimmy Williams (clarinet, alto saxophone); Alfie Kahn (clarinet, tenor saxophone); Dave Wilkins (trumpet); George Chisholm (trombone); Edmundo Ros, Max Lewis (drums). Recording information: London, England (10/21/1922-06/13/1939). Other than Fats Waller's first two recorded piano solos (from 1922), this double LP concentrates on the recordings he made while in London during 1938-39. Doubling on piano and organ, Waller romps and sings with a fine English octet, takes six comparatively somber organ solos (featuring Black spirituals) and backs singer Adelaide Hall on a delightful version of "I Can't Give You Anything but Love." In addition, Waller (backed by drummer Max Lewin) performs one of his few long works, the six-part "London Suite." Excellent music with plenty of variety on this fine two-fer. ~ Scott Yanow
