Until The Real Thing Comes AlongFats Waller

Until the Real Thing Comes Along

Fats Waller is an essential artist when talking about American jazz pianists.

The contrast of his large physique and the delicate melodies he played left a striking impression, and fans of the time affectionately called him “Fats,” meaning chubby.

Speaking of his appeal, it has to be his exceptional performance technique.

In “Until The Real Thing Comes Along,” his skills are showcased to the fullest in a Dixieland jazz arrangement.

Savoy BluesLouis Armstrong & Lonnie Johnson

Savoy Blues

A song co-recorded in 1927 by Louis Armstrong, a jazz trumpet player and composer from New Orleans, and Lonnie Johnson, a guitarist who plays roots music.

Its blues- and jazz-infused feeling and tone carry a certain nostalgia, making it a compelling listen.

It’s a track I recommend both to those interested in old films and to fans of musicals.
