Joe Williams (vocals); Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Thad Jones (trumpet); Norman Simmons (piano); Jerry Peters (keyboards); John Collins (guitar); John Heard (bass); Gerryck King (drums)
For this session, Joe Williams is backed by such master jazzmen as trumpeter Thad Jones, the contrasting tenors of Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Benny Golson and guitarist John Collins. The material varies from the dated humor of "It's Not Easy Being White" to classic versions of "Until I Met You" and "I Got It Bad." Joe Williams is in prime form, and this is one of his better sessions from his later years.
