In this highly-anticipated release, Paul Asaro and The Fat Babies pay homage to the recordings of "Fats" Waller and His Rhythm. Asaro, already well known to jazz aficionados for his long association with Leon Redbone, takes center stage here with piano and vocals that recall the humor, wit, and sublime piano talents of Waller without ever resorting to slavish imitation. With him are The Fat Babies, favorites on the Chicago jazz scene, who fully capture the spontaneous excitement of the original Waller recordings with a fresh twist. In addition to Asaro at the piano, the band includes Andy Schumm, cornet; John Otto, clarinet; Jake Sanders, guitar; Beau Sample, bass; and Alex Hall, drums. 14 selections including "I Wish I Were Twins," "Your Feet's Too Big," "Don't Let It Bother You," "You're My Dish," "Blue Turning Grey Over You," "Truckin'," and more.
