1962

THEM BLUES * BILLIE POOLE * RIVERSIDE 4559 * USA

A superb up-tempo Jazz vocal from Billie Poole, who's Gospel training adds to her emotional range whether she is singing Blues or Jazz, with what was known then as a 'cool' Jazz backing by The Junior Mance Trio.

Pianist Junior Mance formed his trio in 1961 with with bassist Ben Tucker and Bobby Thomas on drums, though I'm not sure weather it's drummer Mickey Roker; Kenny Burrell; guitar and Bob Cranshaw on this recording.
