Hal Singer With Charlie Shavers – Blue Stompin' (1959)
A1 Blue Stompin' A2 Wendy A3 With A Song In My Heart B1 Midnight B2 Fancy Pants B3 Blast Off Bass – Wendell Marshall Drums – Osie Johnson Piano – Ray Bryant Tenor Saxophone – Hal Singer Trumpet – Charlie Shavers
This is a fun set of heated swing with early R&B overtones. The title cut is a real romp, with tenor saxophonist Hal Singer and trumpeter Charlie Shavers not only constructing exciting solos but riffing behind each other. With the exception of the standard "With a Song in My Heart," Singer and Shavers wrote the remainder of the repertoire, and with the assistance of a particularly strong rhythm section (pianist Ray Bryant, bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Osie Johnson), there are many fine moments on this enjoyable set. Recommended. ---Scott Yanow, AllMusic Review
