Title: Bob Zurke Two Handed Piano Player
Product review: Contrary to many modern jazz pianists Bob Zurke used his left hand . He was nicknamed " Tom Cat Of The Keys " for ample reasons . He simply pounded the piano with both hands but in quite a musical jazz way . Was too young to catch his band but have I think all of his recordings. Bob's band was a cross between Bob Crosby's happy dixie crew who he played with and the great Will Bradley-Ray McKinley Boogie Woogie Band.The band had only one huge weakness it was comprised of some real heavy boozers and Bob died at a young age I think 34. If not mistaken think some of his band members did too . If you enjoyed the old Bob Crosby and Bradley Bands you will cherish Zurke's Band .This CD is well worth it simply for his strong swinging piano playing .Damn wished he lived a few years longer would have loved to have a "Taste " with him and dig his piano playing .John Rowland
