On this wide-ranging set, guitarist
Barry Levinson's debut, he is featured on all types of
blues from lowdown to swinging. It is obvious, listening to these selections (all but three of which are instrumentals), that although
Levenson is very much a bluesman, his roots are in
jazz. He dedicates
"Crawford's Grill" to guitarist
Grant Green, uses the saxophonists liberally, and stretches out in his solos, sometimes hinting at
Charlie Christian. The resulting music, which features
Levenson with a strong rhythm section, should be of strong interest to collectors of both
blues and
blues-oriented
jazz.
