Atlantic/Stax Rhythm & Blues: Annie Laurie - Tiny Grimes Quintet

"Annie Laurie" - Tiny Grimes Quintet


Recorded in Cleveland, August 1948

Another very pleasant jazzy R&B instrumental that may not amount to much but sounds quite nice. Here, Tiny Grimes offers some bouncy melodic playing and pretty tones that make for an enjoyable listen, and piano player George Kelly even gives a wonderful piano solo from 0:43-0:57. Not much else to say here: the band sounds fluent and competent, and the song still makes for some tasteful background listening today.

Verdict: Decent

NOTE: For some reason, a song marked as Tiny Grimes's "Annie Laurie" on Apple Music is actually Cliff Richard's cover of the traditional pop standard "As Time Goes By". I have absolutely no idea how that happened, but that means that this song is neither on Apple Music nor Spotify. So, check out the link above if you want to hear it.
