Music reviews of Fats Waller and His Rhythm: The Middle Years, Part 1 (1936-1938)

Music Review: more fine jazz from Fats
Rating: 5 Stars

The Middle Years Part One sees essentially the same cats coming back from earlier volumes on the record dates, with the exception of some "big band" sides where "His Rhythm" gets fleshed out. Most of the songs are original compositions and it makes me wonder "when the hell did this guy sleep?"
It's too bad these sets went out of print, but thankfully they're still available at a usually reasonable price in good condition. I'm working towards collecting them all. I have a radio show on local community FM, specializing in all kinds of classic American music and Fats always gets a call of appreciation. In a modern music scene full of flash in the pan, photogenic 1-D "artists", I treat the music of Fats and folks like him as manna from music heaven.

Description of Fats Waller and His Rhythm: The Middle Years, Part 1 (1936-1938)

While the swing era has been strongly identified with big bands, few musicians of the period enjoyed the success of Fats Waller, who spent most of the period happily leading a sextet. While Waller's popularity was inevitably tied to his casual vocals and the scale of his personality--his verbal humor can become a running commentary on an instrumental--Waller was one of the greatest pianists who ever played jazz. Part of a comprehensive series of Waller's band recordings for RCA, this three-CD set covers his work from December 1936 to April 1938. As with every volume in the series, there's a mix of novelty vocals, sentimental ballads, and superior pop songs. What distinguishes all of it is the genius of the Waller piano, from animated stride to the most thoughtful chord, all of it delivered with a lightness of touch that inspired pianists like Art Tatum and Teddy Wilson. In the spirit of the times, Waller expanded "His Rhythm" to a 14-piece band for the final session, which includes rousing versions of "Sheik of Araby" and Duke Ellington's "Skrontch." --Stuart Broomer
