The Slam Stewart Memorial Album 1914-1987 (1995)

Dit is een heruitgave van de LP "Dialogue" uit 1978. Dit was een duo-album van contrabassist/scatzanger Slam Stewart en gitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. Deze tribute-heruitgave bevat twee bonustracks in sextetbezetting: bas/gitaar aangevuld met trompet/tenorsax/piano/drums. Die bonus-tracks komen van de LP "New York, New York, Sounds of The Apple". "Slam Stewart was a superior swing-oriented bassist whose ability to bow the bass and hum an octave apart made him famous in the jazz world. Up until the end, Slam Stewart occupied his own unique niche in jazz. It is not surprising considering who is playing that this album is swinging, tasteful (thanks largely to Pizzarelli) and witty (due to Stewart's humming along with his bowed solos). In addition to some swing standards, the duo plays Peter Appleyard's "Slam Bow," a couple of Erroll Garner tunes, Leon Russell's "This Masquerade" and an ad-lib blues." (Scott Yanow, Allmusic)
