[Dixielandjazz] SO THAT'S WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ABOUT

[Harry Callaghan]

I am speaking of the recent write-ups I've seen about Rebecca Kilgore.

Not being familiar with her vocal talents, I managed to locate an
inexpensive CD by her online and it just arrived this morning.

It is 'Countin' on Fats" (Jazzology JCD-299) on which she does 18 Fats
Waller compositions backed by Hal Smith's Rhythmakers, a 7-piece ensemble,
(8 counting Becky on guitar).  It was recorded in San Diego in 1998 and the
band is equally adept at playing soft and mellow, swinging out, or anything
in between depending on what the number calls for.

I can honestly say that I was so impressed with her vocalizing, that I can
even forgive her being a blonde, which for me is really "biting the bullet".
