Here are five recordings featuring the great Vassar Clements.
Vassar Clements has been dubbed the Father of Hillbilly Jazz, an improvisational style that blends and borrows from swing, hot jazz, and bluegrass along with roots also in country and other musical traditions. Vassar Clements played on over 200 albums, including nearly 40 on which he starred or was featured.
What a magnificent offering from the floating AZ gentleman (see the "yep that's me" photo). Can't imagine a nicer present than this from the amazing Vassar. I have long since concluded that "hillbilly jazz" would be my desert island accompaniment. This hits me right where I live. Thanks again, AZ.
