Teddy Wilson
Ed Thigpen - Drums
Jesper Lundgaard - Bass
This CD (18 tunes; 69 minutes) is a studio recording made in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1980. The CD presents Teddy Wilson at his best, playing tunes he made immortal in the thirties as pianist with clarinetist Benny Goodman. Teddy Wilson is accompanied by Jesper Lundgaard, a Dane who is one of Europe's top bassists, and the famous drummer Ed Thigpen, who also lives in Denmark. On this CD Wilson displays all the delicacy, elegance, taste, finesse and impeccible rhythm sense that has made him one of the best pianists in jazz.

Teddy Wilson remained the consummate swinger throughout his career, with an instantly recognizable sound. This expanded Storyville CD, recorded during a visit to Denmark in 1980, features the pianist in a studio date with bassist Jesper Lundgaard and expatriate drummer Ed Thigpen. The original LP and a 1987 CD reissue contained a dozen tracks that Wilson played often while working with Benny Goodman during the 1930s. It's easy to dig his effortless tenths in the upbeat treatment of "'S Wonderful," the elegant interpretation of "More Than You Know," and his graceful rendition of "Sweet Lorraine." This expanded 2005 reissue adds six more tunes that were initially issued on a different album, though Wilson ventures into at least one song he never recorded with Goodman, a brisk romp through "I'll Remember April." Wilson stumbles a bit in "Don't Be That Way," but quickly covers himself with his improvising. Lundgaard, one of the better bassists living in Europe, acquits himself quite well as a soloist and member of the rhythm section. The masterful Ed Thigpen sticks to playing brushes and keeps the session flowing. This all-around fine effort by Teddy Wilson is well worth the attention of swing fans.

Teddy Wilson was the definitive swing pianist, a solid and impeccable soloist whose smooth and steady style was more accessible to the general public than Earl Hines or Art Tatum. He picked up early experience playing with Speed Webb in 1929 and appearing on some Louis Armstrong recordings in 1933. Discovered by John Hammond, Willie joined Benny Carter's band and recorded with the Chocolate Dandies later that year. In 1935, he began leading a series of classic small-group recordings with swing all-stars which on many occasions featured Billie Holiday. That was also the year that an informal jam session with Benny Goodman and Gene Krupa resulted in the formation of the Benny Goodman Trio (Lionel Hampton made the group a quartet the following year). Although he was a special added attraction rather than a regular member of the orchestra, Wilson's public appearances with Goodman broke important ground in the long struggle against segregation.
Between his own dates, many recordings with Benny Goodman's small groups and a series of piano solos, Teddy Wilson recorded a large number of gems during the second half of the 1930s. He left B.G. in 1939 to form his own big band but, despite some fine records, it folded in 1940. Wilson led a sextet at Cafe Society during 1940-1944, taught music at Juilliard during the summers of 1945-1952, appeared on radio shows, and recorded regularly with a trio, as a soloist and with pick-up groups in addition to having occasional reunions with Goodman. Teddy Wilson's style never changed, and he played very similar in 1985 to how he sounded in 1935; no matter, the enthusiasm and solid sense of swing were present up until the end.
