The Savoy Sultans, as revived by drummer Panama Francis, was one of the hottest small-group swing bands of the late '70s/early '80s. Singer Jimmy Witherspoon fits right in with the group, emphasizing the Kansas City swing and blues side of his repertoire. With the Sultans (a nonet also including trumpeters Francis Williams and Irv Stokes, tenorman George Kelly, and pianist Red Richards) inspiring him, Witherspoon revives some of the most memorable songs associated with Jimmy Rushing including "Sent for You Yesterday," "I Want a Little Girl," and "Boogie Woogie." This highly recommended set is one of Jimmy Witherspoon's best from his later years [Review by Scott Yanow]
