Subtitled "Teddy & the Girls," this leg of the Teddy Wilson story differs markedly from the meticulously chronological approach usually employed by the Masters of Jazz label, in that it does not sequentially present every single recording he made as sideman or leader between March 23, 1938 through August 10, 1939; instead, it skips over instrumentals and famous Billie Holiday sides to maintain its focus upon two female vocalists who have often been left on the sidelines by the prevailing if deservedly heavy emphasis upon Wilson's many collaborations with Lady Day. Tracks one through eighteen feature the voice of Nan Wynn while the last five songs are sung by Thelma Carpenter. As always, each and every edition of the Teddy Wilson Orchestra included some of the world's very best jazz musicians. The roster on this album includes Bobby Hackett, Pee Wee Russell, Ben Webster, Gene Sedric, Benny Carter, Johnny Hodges, Rudy Powell, Al Casey, and J.C. Heard. These comparatively uncommon Teddy Wilson recordings are well worth investigating in their own light and supplementally in order to fill in the gaps that still persist in Wilson's extensive discography.
