Jimmy Rushing. The name may not ring a bell for many, but this jazz and blues legend deserves a spot in every music aficionado's collection. Four Classic Albums Plus offers a glimpse into Rushing's versatile talent, showcasing his unique blend of soulful vocals and captivating storytelling.

The first album, "Jimmy Rushing And The Smith Girls", is a delightful collaboration that highlights Rushing's smooth crooning alongside the Smith sisters' harmonious backing vocals. The result is a playful, toe-tapping journey through swing and blues that will leave you longing for more.

Moving on to "The Jazz Odyssey Of James Rushing Esq", Rushing takes the listener on a musical adventure, exploring various jazz styles with finesse and flair. His deep, resonant voice shines on tracks like "Trav'lin' Light", while the band's expert instrumentation keeps the energy high throughout.

"Little Jimmy Rushing And The Big Brass" sees Rushing embrace a more orchestral sound, with big band arrangements that elevate his powerful vocals to new heights. The brass section adds a dynamic punch to classics like "Goin' to Chicago" and "Just a Dream", making this album a standout in Rushing's discography.

Finally, the collaboration with Dave Brubeck on "Brubeck & Rushing" is a true gem. The contrasting styles of Brubeck's piano and Rushing's vocals create a mesmerizing fusion that is both soothing and invigorating.
