Ramblin' with Mose


Ramblin' with Mose is the sixth album to be released by blues/jazz pianist and vocalist Mose Allison which was recorded in 1958 and released on the Prestige label.

Reception

Thom Jurek of Allmusic states, "Allison displays absolutely brilliant instrumental prowess as both an arranger and as an improviser. His unique, often unorthodox interpretations of standards and pop songs set him apart from virtually every one of his peers". The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the recording as "curiously disarming".
