Jazz Pick Of The Week: Fats Waller

Thomas "Fats" Waller (1904-1943) ranks with the most talented and entertaining of all jazz greats. Large girth, larger than life personality with gigantic talent to match, Fats is known more for his incre...dibly humorous and somewhat risqué singing style than his fabulous pianism. The latter is featured on one of his rare instrumentals, "Numb Fumblin" recorded in 1929. Here Fats displays his incredibly delicate and melodic touch with no over the top vocal. Besides playing and singing Fats wrote hundreds of songs including some of the greatest of the jazz era including "Ain't Misbehaving", "Honeysuckle Rose", "Keeping out of Mischief Now", "Blue Turning Grey Over You" and I've Got A Feeling I'm Falling". This title of opposite of the playing - it's not numb, and never fumblin'.
