Title: A big rock star Joe Turner
Review: This interesting compilation will probably be of interest both to Joe Turner's jazz fans and to his pop/rock fans. If the latter fan base still exists, it will be more pleased than the first group, because the songs are mostly arranged in early rock'n'roll and r'n'b style; with occasional sappy back-vocal backed dud.However, there's plenty of spirit and fire here, lots of blues and r'n'b standards, some mean piano and OK brass, one song taken from the Count Basie book (and rechristened "You're driving me crazy"), etc...Pitty the liner notes are so poor for an "platinum" collection - one would like to know more, for instance, about the musicians on these tracks - for instance their names.
Is the review positive or negative?
