Rating: - Fats lives
This whole series has somehow managed to do what the thousands of other earlier Waller releases have not managed to do: Get the music juice out of the grooves. All CDs in this series are almost what used to be called hi-fi though releases to date reach only to 1938, long before the advent of hi-fi (never mind stereo).

My favorite, on one of the earlier collections of four CDs in this series, is "Serenade for a Wealthy Widow." You hear licks, notes, background fills, that were never before audible. That made that tune brand-new again. But that happens to most of the recordings in this series.

The only negative I have is that while a group of four CDs may have various takes, recorded on a given day, of the same tune, they are separated. That makes listening more fun for the non-aficionado of Fats Waller, but less so for people like me. Oh well.

Recommended without reservation.
