Beginning with an unusual instrumental organ version of his signature "Ain't Misbehavin'," and also including such classics as the raucous "The Joint Is Jumpin'," "When Somebody Thinks You're Wonderful," and "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter," this best-of is a fine introduction to the irrepressible 20th-century jazz personality Fats Waller's inimitable style. Waller's comical vocal asides and theatrical mugging often obscured a prodigious technique and a wildly inventive musical imagination, as evidenced here on instrumentals like "Viper's Drag" and the virtuoso "Handful of Keys."
