On Cool Cat Blues in 1990 Ben Sidran assembled some of the coolest jazz cats around to record on an album with the famed Georgie Fame. Among these is jazz drumming giant Steve Gadd, percussionist Ralph MacDonald, bassist Will Lee, blues guitarist Robben Ford, legendary jazz vocalist Mr. Jon Hendricks, pop icon Boz Scaggs and Irish soul king Van Morrison. Apart from the great selection of vocal standards, there is a revamp of Georgie's "Yeah Yeah," a dynamic version of Van's "Moondance" and "It Should Have Been Me."

"A Night In San Francisco" (Van Morrison Release 1994) Van shouts out Georgie Fame and a Jazz vocalist entered my ears with a smoothness of silk. That small portion of that release played in my head for years. A month ago I stumbled upon this release: "Cool Cat Blues" and was totally blown away. Georgie's voice, the arrangements and high wire act that connects Jazz with the Blues is tremendous. He joins once again with Van Morrison on "Moondance" which throws me right back to that 1994 Morrison release. He then adds Boz Scaggs to the mix along with the remainder of the entourage of cuts completes this package. As a Blues enthusiast, I can not come up with another release that travels this path with such completeness. Close your eyes and picture the wardrobe of the "Dick Van Dyke" show and the performances during their house parties within their New Rochelle home. This will take you there. All this great music and time travel too! Don't miss this one!!!!
