Biograph

Naxos Jazz

2007 50 track collection that covers his finest work from 1929 through to 1943, the year of his death.

Tributee: Fats Waller.Personnel: Aki Takase (piano, toy piano); Eugene Chadbourne (vocals, guitar, banjo); Rudi Mahall (bass clarinet); Thomas Heberer (trumpet); Nils Wogram (trombone); Paul Lovens (drums).Audio Mixer: Rainer Robben.Arranger: Aki Takase.Pianist and vocalist Fats Waller composed many songs that have become standards known around the globe, and his freewheeling piano style has rarely if ever been equaled. Japan-bred pianist Aki Takase interprets Waller in a manner the old master himself might enjoy, with lots of zany, irreverent humor and amazing keyboard technique.

The release also received German Record Critics Award in 2004.
