Shirley Scott - Sweet Soul (1962) [re-rip]

Reissued from the "Happy Talk" session this features Earl May on bass and Roy Brooks on drums. It includes a nice "Jitterbug Waltz." All are standards. ~ by Michael G. Nastos, AMG.

Here we have another overlooked classic by the ‘Queen of the Organ’. On this date she keeps her trio’s focus on a number of classic jazz standards. Her performance and skills are exceptional and backed perfectly by other veterans; Earl May on bass and Roy Brooks on drums. This album recorded by Rudy van Gelder was to be the 2^nd release of this brilliant LP. The previous being Happy Talk [Prestige PR 7262]
