Honeypie present a reissue of
Eddie Jefferson
's
Letter From Home
, originally released on Riverside Records in 1962.
Letter From Home
was the debut album of jazz vocalist Eddie Jefferson. Often credited as the founder of vocalese, Jefferson wrote memorable lyrics to classic jazz standards including "Parker's Mood", "Lady Be Good", "So What", "Freedom Jazz Dance," and others. Eddie Jefferson is backed here by a bunch of jazz heavyweights, all at the top of their game. Among them: tenor sax masters
Johnny Griffin
and
James Moody
, trumpeter
Clark Terry
, pianists
Winton Kelly
and
Joe Zawinul
, bassist
Sam Jones
, and two hyper swinging drummers,
Louis Hayes
and
Osie Johnson
. This is an often underrated vocal jazz album, a hidden gem ready to be unearthed.
