Jimmy Yancey Vol.3 1943-1950

by: Jimmy Yancey

Release Date March 01, 2000
Yancey is one of the great originals, one of the fathers of the whole boogie-woogie movement. But he makes his point by playing FEWER rather then more notes.
This is one volume of the completre set of his recordings - buy them all! They are wonderfully relaxing, melancholy blues.
