Johnson's piano), and seven selections on which Waller sits in with cornetist Thomas Morris' Hot Babies in 1927. Surprisingly, other than his scat vocal on \"Red Hot Dan,\" Fats Waller is heard strictly as a pianist but his talents were so giant as an instrumentalist that one never minds. With trombonists Charlie Irvis and Jack Teagarden and trumpeters Red Allen and Jabbo Smith among the strong supporting cast, the one word for this superior CD is hot.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"RCA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49606180307224,"sku":"078636100524","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/fats-his-buddies-fats-walle","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
