Jimmy Witherspoon

Live at Condon's 1990 Jimmy Witherspoon

Founded in 1977 by Lionel Hampton, the Who's Who in Jazz label existed as a means to present to the world the best musicians that the jazz world had to offer. With Lionel chairing the recording sessions (and also featuring on several of the sessions himself), these recordings have truly earned their title featuring jazz greats such as Buddy Rich, Charles Mingus, Terumasa Hino, Sonny Stitt, Teddy Wilson, Stéphane Grappelli and Dave Brubeck, amidst the many others. Recorded Live at Condon's in New York, May 24th/25th, 1990 Witherspoon is joined by Dave Jackson (bass), Walter Perkins (drums), Bross Townsend (piano) and Harold Ousley (saxophone) to showcase some truly stellar performances on an array of classic compositions including 'Goin' to Chicago' and 'I'm Knocking Out Your Teeth Tonight'.
