What Are You Listening To?

[Tiggi]

1960 recording which focusses on RC's Jazz playing. He wanted to make an album featuring himself on Hammond Organ, and he's backed by either the Basie Band, or another Big Band put together for the recording. There are a couple of songs with RC taking the vocals, but it's mostly instrumental Jazz.

The Hammond sounds quite out of place in a Big Band environment at first, but once you get past that, this is a solid album.


AllMusic 3+/5 stars.
