CD ReviewsGet this CD NOW!! 09/11/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Finally--a whole compact disc of the greatest, craziest, most original scat singer of all time. Watson (1898-1950) was completely irrepressible in both private life and public performance, and this disc (especially the last half, the mid 40's sides) has his best recorded work, including "Utt Da Zat," "Honeysuckle Rose," "She Ain't no Saint" as well as Watson's jump-time improv on Cole Porter's "Night and Day." Watson influenced every scat singer who heard him (from Ella Fitzgerald to Slim Gaillard to Eddie Jefferson)and you can hear why! (Discographical note: The pianist introduced on "Sonny Boy" as "Jelly Roll Lipschitz" is not Eddie Heywood but nascent jazz critic Leonard Feather; the Heywood misidentification was enshrined by the Jepsen discography decades ago.)"
