	Jimmy Witherspoon
		Jimmy Witherspoon returns to Toronto as part of the 11th du Maurier Downtown Jazz Festival.
		In fact, the friendship with Witherspoon stems, in turn, from another friendship Petersen cemented with another musician at another folk festival -- this one with guitarist Duke Robillard at the Winnipeg Festival in 1993.
		McShann, of course, is the pioneering Kansas City bandleader (and, incidentally, the man who hired Witherspoon -- and the young Charlie Parker -- for their first professional recording sessions), and he and Robillard hit it off immediately.

	Jimmy Witherspoon : Spoon - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		This 1961 large-band jazz date places Jimmy Witherspoon on the Reprise label in the company of some heavy hitters -- Teddy Edwards on saxophone, Gerald Wilson on trumpet, Gerald Wiggins on piano, trombonist Herbie Harper, bassist Jimmy Bond, and guitarist Al Viola -- just to name a few.
		The contrast between the orchestra's pop-jazz leanings and Witherspoon's bluesy swing are sometimes hair-raising.
		This is one of those recordings that offers a true starting point for the mature Witherspoon at the absolute top of his powers as a song interpreter and singer supported by a deeply sympathetic orchestra.

	Roots - Jimmy Witherspoon - Song Listings
		Jimmy Witherspoon laid out two great records in 1962 on Reprise, Spoon and this one.
		The warmth of Witherspoon's voice on material like "Your Red Wagon," "I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water," "Key to the Highway" (in one of the more unique versions ever recorded), and Jimmy Rushing's "Did You Ever" is on the other side of lonesome.
		It's not as raucous as the original, but Witherspoon's smooth, clear, and deep register is beautifully complemented first by Wilson's solo and then by Webster's.

		Blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon (born August 8, 1923, Gurdon, Ark.; died September 13, 1997, Los Angeles, Ca.), a Grammy nominee whose trademark was his deep, smoky voice, died September 18, 1997 at the age of 74 after a 15-year bout with throat cancer.

	Jimmy Witherspoon - Biography and Recommendations
		Jimmy Witherspoon is truly a singer who can sing it all - rock, jazz and R&B as well as blues.
		Over the years he blossomed in the company of jazz musicians but the bottom line is that his deep, powerful and mellow voice places him firmly in the blues tradition.
		The resulting recording became one of Witherspoon's most enduring career highlights and can be heard on the Charly Blues Masterworks CD "Rockin' With Spoon".

	Jimmy Witherspoon : Oldies.com
		Witherspoon crossed over into rock, jazz and RandB territory, but his deep and mellow voice placed him ultimately as a fine blues singer.
		Other recordings at the time with bands led by Jimmy "Maxwell Street" Davis are fine examples of rollicking west coast RandB (collected as Who's Been Jivin' You).
		Witherspoon's popularity as an RandB singer faded during the course of the 50s, but he made a great...

	Jimmy Witherspoon
		"Jimmy WItherspoon's "Singin the Blues" is already on one of the Top 25 Essential Lindy Hop CDs.
		Many jazz critics pan Witherspoon's later work, in large part because his voice did start to fail him in later years, especially in live performances.
		But the voice is not all gone on this album, and his vocal phrasing is always rich and "real." Moreover, it is the overall package, not just how Jimmy sings in isolation, that makes this album shine for Lindy Hoppers.

		I first heard Jimmy Witherspoon back in the fifties when I came upon a jukebox single issued by the French Jazz record label ‘Disques Vogue’.

		Jimmy and I became close friends at this time through the good graces of Downbeat Magazine.

		Witherspoon recorded the two poorly received albums Blues Singer and Huhh for the Bluesway label in 1969 and 1970, both more rock-oriented than his usual material.

	The 'Spoon Concerts, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		Heard at the peak of his powers, Witherspoon holds his own with a mighty group of veterans (trumpeter Roy Eldridge, both Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins on tenors, clarinetist Woody Herman, pianist Earl Hines, bassist Vernon Alley, and drummer Mel Lewis).
		The other half of this CD features Witherspoon romping through ten mostly traditional blues songs two months later with Webster, baritonist Gerry Mulligan, pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and drummer Mel Lewis; the performance is equally exciting.
		Highly recommended, this CD is the one truly essential Jimmy Witherspoon release.

	JIMMY WITHERSPOON/BLUE SPOON 180g LP - elusivedisc
		I Wonder, the opening track, is the sort of slow, moody number that Jimmy Witherspoon masters so beautifully but the mood is soon broken up by the up-tempo It's A Low Down Dirty Shame which also features some fine solos by Burrell and Haynes.
		Witherspoon updates the lyrics slightly in the introduction and gives it a sudden and direct ending with a 'BROKE' which probably still resounds in Rudy Van Gelder's studio.
		Side A ends with It's All In The Game, a well-known ballad which, in Witherspoon's interpretation, is given an extra bluesy feeling.

		Parker was with the band when it made a sensational debut at New York's Savoy Ballroom in 1942, but it began to lose its way once the military draft intervened, with McShann himself called up to serve in an anti-aircraft unit in 1944.
		By the time he was released, the band's prized library of arrangements were lost and he elected to start again in California, forming a series of tight, bluesy combos featuring vocalists Crown Prince Waterford and Jimmy Witherspoon.
		The latter's Ain't Nobody's Business (made with McShann) was a hit and launched the singer's national career.
