xiphophilos 10th Feb 2017		Sorry, st0nesstein, but I had to remove your image because an image of HIT 7084 simply does not belong here. It should illustrate an entry for HIT 7084, not for Majestic 7084. Please consider creating this entry if you own this record yourself and upload your image there (and if you could crop it first to a circle or at least a square, that would help reduce the backload of images that still need to be fixed by the volunteer moderator team).



st0nesstein 10th Feb 2017		label uploaded is the original issue on HIT, not the reissue



slholzer 27th Sep 2015		Review Cootie Williams and Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson may have been riding the historic coat tails of other giants here, but they had the chops to do it and the result was an excellent double-sided swing disc. Vinson does a spot-on imitation of Joe Turner's blues shouting on Turner's own "Cherry Red" and then carries the same approach over to Ellington's "Things Ain't What They Used To Be". Williams provides solid horn solos over an Ellington-flavored orchestra. It's really a shame that Vinson never made it into the Ellington stable. They could have done a lot of great records together. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
