As well as being a great songwriter and vocalist, Ivory Joe was also able to attract only the best accompanists for his 1940s sessions. He hired Johnny Moore’s Three Blazers to play on his first record Blues At Sunrise – reproduced here from the original Ivory Records acetates, which were sold to King in 1948. The tracks he subsequently cut for another Hunter-owned label, Pacific, featured such stellar names as Pee Wee Crayton, Ernie Royal and Wardell Gray. Ben Webster blew tenor on Ivory Joe’s first King session. And the bulk of the tracks featured on “Woo Wee!” utilise the talents of a band that was comprised entirely of Duke Ellington alumni, including Johnny Hodges, Oscar Pettiford, Ray Nance, Tyree Glenn, Russell Procope and Sonny Greer! When he wasn’t cutting hot R&B with the Ellington band members, he was down in Nashville working with a multi-racial band that included future production legend Owen Bradley, or up in Cincinnati playing it pretty with Cleanhead Vinson’s band, including Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis on tenor. If these men are not “All Stars” then I really don’t know who would fit that description.
Most of Ivory Joe’s King hits were soft, romantic ballads – but we’ve featured one here, the lovely (and classic) Guess Who? Most of the time we hear him in ‘blues ‘n’ boogie’ mode, laying down some of the coolest grooves of the day and proving that he could cut it with any of the more boisterous R&B names of his time. As well as presenting the best of the uptempo masters in blistering sound, I’m happy that the acetates yielded a handful of ‘alternate takes’ that really are ‘alternate’ – none of which has been heard in public since the day that they were recorded!
