Primo jazz/blues belter, best known for his fifteen years with Count Basie.
After Basie disbanded his group, Rushing cut some sides under his own name in the fifties.
The best solo stuff is him working with a full band (as opposed to the small combos he
sometimes recorded with).
Prime cuts:
Everyday I have The Blues
The Essential Jimmy Rushing
Mister Five By Five
Anything he did with the Count
The man could sing.
