Despite a desperately early death at the age of 39 in 1943, the memory of Fats Waller not only lives on, his reputation as a performer, pianist and composer has grown through the years. Fortunately for the world, he left a legacy of studio recordings, also a few live radio broadcasts have been preserved. This new Jasmine CD features some of his radio appearances, and includes many titles Waller never recorded commercially. The sound is superb as these sides capture the atmosphere and character of a truly great artist.
