★★★★☆☆ This album captures Roy Eldridge in an unusual setting, jamming with Swedish musicians back in 1951. The first half is packed with jazz classics, showcasing Eldridge at his peak, with the Swedes providing tasteful and skilled backup, giving the spotlight to the maestro. But the real treasure here is when Eldridge and the band veer off from the standard jazz playlist. It's a rare chance to witness 'Little Jazz' transform into a sizzling rhythm and blues performer, belting out and shaking the house down on three Louis Jordan tunes: "Schooldays", "They Raided The House" and "Saturday Night Fish Fry". On all three tracks, Eldridge is clearly having a blast, joyously singing and almost putting his horn on the back burner. Roy Eldridge has certainly brought joy to jazz fans throughout his long career. But these tracks make you wonder, what an incredible rhythm and blues artist we might have missed. This hard-to-find material is a must-have for those three tracks alone.
