AMG Review of Nobody in Mind
Scott Yanow
All Music GuideBlues singer Big Joe Turner is in good form on this late-period session. In addition to his usual rhythm section (featuring guitarist Pee Wee Crayton), Turner is joined by two notable soloists: trumpeter Roy Eldridge (whose determination makes up for his occasional misses) and vibraphonist Milt Jackson. Other than "Red Sails in the Sunset" (which is largely turned into a blues), the music is fairly typical for Turner, but the spirit and sincerity of the singer and his sidemen make this CD reissue worth picking up.
