Authors: Ella Fitzgerald; Fats Waller. By the time Stash came out with this LP, its 20th release, one would think that the label had run out of vintage drug and sex songs to reissue. However the quality of these performances is still pretty high and, although some of the musicians were quiet obscure, there are also selections from Charles "Cow Cow" Davenport, Buck Washington, Louis Armstrong (1928's "Muggles"), Mills Blue Rhythm Band, Mezz Mezzrow, Fats Waller and Django Reinhardt. Reefer Madness is not essential but remains quite fun. ~ Scott Yanow   Technical Info Release Date : 08/03/2004 Original Release Date : 2004 Catalog ID : 415 Label : Buzzola Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : n/a SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00823564700106    Related Videos In Search of Solid Ground...
