REAL Fats Waller on the Pipes in HIGH FIDELITY STEREO!.......2006-12-28

I am a collector of unusual [read: NON-classical]Theatrical Pipe Organ recordings, and when I obtained this CD in 1988, I listened with joy at the sound of real jazz being played with real flair, on the Compton Theatre Organ by the Master himself, Fats Waller, in real stereo sound! Others on this site have commented that they wished for more variation in dynamics and tempo, ala George Wright- but they don't realize that Fats and Mr. Wright were 2 different animals! Fat's keyboard style was not unlike that of George Gershwin, who gave Fats his start in the record business- both performers tended towards "fast and furious" playing - romping and striding through their musical numbers- it wasn't really their style to play in a more modern vein, ala George Wright - they were musicians of their time, the 1930s. That said, listening to this recording on its own terms, is a treat for the ears and a tonic for the ol' gray matter. The producers very cleverly managed to pull off a real "rabbit out of the hat trick," pulling Fats Waller out of the old hat of the past, and into the modern age of High Fidelity Sound. I want Organ fans everywhere to give this disc a proper listen!

Many changes in the "Stop" settings while playing, keeps the selections interesting. Shows the many voices of the organ. Same tempo during most of the selections, could have mixed in some quieter/slower for a change of pace. (Try George Wright for example.) Consequently, this CD can get tiring if used as background musik while working or doing other activities. But, since I am an organ enthusiast, I am generally happy with this CD. It plays well on by car CD.

Fats once removed.......2000-08-01

This album is a curiosity. It's Fats Waller piano rolls transcribed to organ. It is a fairly recent recording. The fact that these are not original recordings of Waller gets a bit lost in the somewhat misleading description of this CD on ebay, and frankly I was kind of disappointed that it wasn't Waller's original recordings. Anyone intimately familiar with this phenomenal artist knows that organ, not piano, was his first love. For a true picture of how Fats lit up an organ, try Young Fats at the Organ, Fats Waller and his Buddies and Fats in London. With all that said, the utmost care was provided on this album to remain true to the Waller touch. It is obvious that this project is a labor of love. It sure sounds like Fats. The playing is hot, undulating and subtle. Especially memorable is "Squeeze Me," his very first composition. It's just too bad that the publishers and sellers of this CD found it necessary to mislead.

Terrific Collection showing other side of Fats Waller.......2000-07-12

Most people know of Fats Waller as a piano player. However, he first started out on a church organ. This is a great collection of his Organ works. Definitely worth having!

Genuine original recordings of the late great Fats at the Pipe Organ!.......2006-12-28

I am a big fan of the Theatrical Pipe Organ [as compared with the Liturgical or church organ, which has its own place in a music lover's library], and have collected recordings of Fats Waller playing the Estey Pipe Organ in Camden NJ, and the Compton Theatre Organ at Abbey Road Studios [where Glenn Miller and The Beatles also recorded!] - so when I saw this for sale I bit, put it on the box, and was treated to the sound of the 78 rpm disc originals lovingly transferred to digital, with reasonably well-suppressed surface noise and surprisingly clear ambience. My only complaint about this disc is that they rolled off the bass below 100 cycles per second, and a Pipe Organ recording sans deep bass is somewhat like a marching band sans bass drum! Other than that, I recommend this disc highly to Pipe Organ fans, just to expose them to real Jazz on the Pipes!
Pipe Organs are NOT just for classical music, they truly are the king of instruments and can play ANYTHING! Fats Waller was the king of the Jazz organists, and the Estey Organ featured on this CD [earlier, this same organ wss recorded-on by the Poet of the Organ himself, Jesse Crawford - a little bit of interesting background info there] was a fine-sounding instrument indeed.
