Vintage Music Productions' 2008 release of Pianist Personified coincided closely with the appearance of Classics' 1951-1956. Both albums document the early maturity of the exceptionally fine pianist Jess Stacy, with Personified reaching ahead to the end of the decade. That's because unlike the Classics compilation (which contains a lot of exciting Benny Goodman-styled swing played by a nine-piece band billed as the Famous Sidemen), Personified confines itself to Stacy's small-group recordings, beginning with eight Brunswick sides from March 1951 with guitarist George Van Eps, bassist Morty Corb, and drummer Nick Fatool. Tracks nine through 16 were recorded for Atlantic in March 1956 and are StacyFatool duets. Previously issued on both the Hanover and Vogue labels, tracks 17 through 28 were cut in December 1959, and are duets with ace drummer Gordon "Specs" Powell. While the aforementioned entry in the Classics Chronological Series offers a wider range of instrumentation, Pianist Personified is more uniformly intimate and comforting. Both releases are outstanding.

One of the great swing pianists, Jess Stacy is known for his solo on "Sing, Sing, Sing," a solo that was cut from the studio recording, but was finally captured on recording at Benny Goodman's historic 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert and released for the first time in 1950. A mostly self-taught player who performed on riverboats during the early '20s, Stacy was part of the fertile Chicago jazz scene of the 1920s with his style being influenced by both Earl Hines and Bix Beiderbecke. Still obscure when he joined Goodman's big band in 1935, the pianist soon became well-known as one of BG's top sidemen, working with him through 1939 and on-and-off during the next five years. Stacy also spent time with the bands of Bob Crosby, Horace Heidt, and Tommy Dorsey, recorded with Eddie Condon, did some solo recordings of his own (starting in 1935), had a short-lived marriage to singer Lee Wiley, and tried twice to lead big bands of his own. He became fairly obscure after moving to California in 1947 (mostly playing in piano bars) and, in 1963, Stacy retired from music altogether, only to return briefly on a few special occasions (and for two Chiaroscuro recordings) over the next 20 years.
