James P. Johnson (1894-1955): Blues for Fats (1943)

[LudwigVonKoopa64]

Johnson and Fats must have had a lot of fun jammin' together...

[bryan3550]

So sweet, so appropriate!

En el minuto 1:47 hace una alusión "bluseada" al tema "Ain't Misbehavin'" y, a continuación lo mismo con el tema "Honeysuckle Rose " , ambos del fallecido FATS WALLER , muerto de frío en un tren sin calefacción ese mismo año 1943.

Thank you so much for uploading this and another pieces from JPJohnson. I had just one album and it's wonderful to discover those jewels

Yeah it's sad Fats Waller died at

the age of 39.R.I.P both were

a true masters of stride piano.

Nice little hommage at 1:48

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

I love his sound!

There seems to be a tradition of jazz pianists memorializing others with blues improvisations. Earl Hines recorded a great solo called blues for art when he heard of Art Tatum's death.
