"Slim Gaillard at Birdland 1951" By 1951, Slim Gaillard's popularity had largely passed its peak, but he had a sudden burst of activity that year with recordings for Clef and some live appearances. On this particular album, the guitarist/singer is heard live heading several groups that include such notable sidemen as bassist Slam Stewart (reuniting with Gaillard on "Flat Foot Floogie" and "Cement Mixer"), pianist Billy Taylor, the tenors of Brew Moore and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, vibraphonist Terry Gibbs and drummer Art Blakey, among others. While there are plenty of fine solos, it is Gaillard's vocal commentary on such tunes as "Serenade In Sulfur" and "Serenade In Vout" that gives this album its fresh and eccentric personality. A must for Slim Gaillard fans. -- Scott Yanow, All-Music

"Cement Mixer Putti Putti" A fine cross-section of guitarist/vocalist/comedian Slim Gaillard's 1945-49 studio recordings (most of which have not yet appeared on CD), this Folklyric release has most of the best titles that Gaillard made with his musical partner of the time, bassist Tiny "Bam" Brown, whose high-pitched voice contrasted well with Slim's smooth but nutty delivery. With appearances by pianist Dodo Marmarosa, either Zutty Singleton or Scat Man Carruthers on drums, and (in the 1949 session) pianist Cyril Haynes, this album (which contains 16 selections) has such odd gems as "Cement Mixer" (a huge hit), "Drei Six Cents," "Laguna Oroonee," "Groove Juice Jive," "Arabian Boogie" and "When Banana Skins Are Falling." Unique and often humorous performances. -- Scott Yanow, All-Music
