For this session,
Joe Williams is backed by such master jazzmen as trumpeter
Thad Jones, the contrasting tenors of
Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and
Benny Golson and guitarist
John Collins. The material varies from the dated humor of "It's Not Easy Being White" to classic versions of "Until I Met You" and "I Got It Bad."
Joe Williams is in prime form, and this is one of his better sessions from his later years.
