Banu Gibson sings with a rhythm section of stellar musicians, including John Sheridan on piano (arranger for the Riverwalk radio show), New Orleans bassist Bill Huntington (who plays bass with Ellis Marsalis), Jeff Hamilton on drums. This recording is a wonderful celebration of Johnny Mercer's 100th birthday and a sequel to Volume One.

Scott Yanow Introduction
In her tribute to Johnny Mercer, Banu Gibson performs music from each of Mercer's eras, ranging from revenge songs that masquerade as a childlike ditty ("Goody, Goody") or a happy romp ("I Wanna Be Around"), the ultimate lowdown piece "Blues In The Night" and the humorous if cynical "I'm An Old Cowhand," to the infectious "Something's Gotta Give." While "Too Marvelous For Words" (which is heard in this version with some rarely performed lyrics) and "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby" have been standards for trad and swing bands since the late 1930s. "When October Goes" was a posthumous matchup of Mercer's unpublished lyrics with a melody provided by Barry Manilow that did not catch on until the 1980s. There are many wonderful aspects to this release, whether it is the tasteful rhythm section, the piano fills and solos from the great John Sheridan, the way that Tom Maggiore emulates Eddie Miller (Mercer's favorite saxophonist) on "Dream," James Singleton's bowed bass on "Autumn Leaves," and the variety of arrangements, styles and moods that are explored. - Scott Yanow, AMG
Banu Gibson
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Oct 24, 1947 in Dayton, OH
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Classic Jazz, Dixieland Revival
During an era when most female singers who interpret music from the 1920s come across as dated "red hot mamas," camp, or satirical, Banu Gibson practically stands alone. She performs music from the 1920s and '30s creatively, but within the boundaries of the idiom, giving fresh life and excitement to forgotten tunes and swinging hard with her New Orleans Hot Jazz Orchestra. Growing up in Hollywood, FL, Gibson was trained as a dancer although she studied voice as a child with an opera singer. She gained early experience playing in a Miami club opposite Phil Napoleon (1967-1968), toured with Your Father's Mustache (1969-1972), and appearing at Disneyland in the Class of '27 (1972-78). She moved to New Orleans in 1973, commuting to Los Angeles and working in New Orleans doing choreography and directing. Gibson learned how to play rhythm banjo and on April 1, 1981, put together her six-piece band, which improved steadily throughout the 1980s and became a popular attraction at traditional jazz festivals. Although Banu Gibson has recorded for World, Jazzology, and Stomp Off, her most rewarding recordings are for her own Swing Out label and those rank with the top classic jazz of the era.
