Notes

Some Albums came with a 16-sided b/w-booklet (see photos).

Al Fats Edwards, 1923 in Memphis/Tennesse geboren, gehört noch zur alten Garde des Jazzes. Mit den schönsten Spirituals und Gospels, die er an der Seite von Ella Fitzgerald im legendären Pariser Olympia gesungen hat, begeisterte er in den letzten beiden Jahren die zahlreichen Besucher seiner Kirchentourneen.
Um nur einige Namen zu nennen, mit denen Al aufgetreten ist: Sidney Bichet, Claude Luther, Juliette Greco, Mezz Mezzerow, Albert Nicolas, Roy Eldridge, Oscar Peterson, Count Basie Band... Fatty George holte ihn für einen Monat nach Wien. Dort blieb er - bis heute. Begleitet wird Al Edwards von Michael Starch auf dem Flügel oder auf der Orgel. Die Platte wurde teilweise von dem "Michael Starch Trio" aus Wien eingespielt, eine Mischung aus Gospels, Spirituals und Worksongs.

Michael Starch Trio: Michael Starch (piano), Rudolf Hansen (baß), Walther Grossrubatscher (drums), Sologitarre: Roberto Hierlander.
