REVIEW   here's little to reccomend this album. For starters, Jimmy is once more back to using that irksome rinko-stop on his organ and we all know that he really should've abandonded that years earlier. He was, in a way, imitating Waller here, who is credited as being the first jazzman to use an electric organ in jazz. It would've been better all round if he didn't (Jimmy, that is, not Fats).
