Chef Slim Gaillard - Smorgasbord..... Help Your Self (2015)

The reissue of Slim Gaillard's 1956 Verve Records masterpiece showcases the multifaceted talent of a premier entertainer who transcended the boundaries of jive, jazz, and blues. This definitive edition features bonus tracks, including the linguistically playful "GOMEN-NASAI" and rare live recordings previously released on 10-inch vinyl. While historically recognized for his collaborations with bebop pioneers like Charlie Parker, Gaillard’s Verve sessions emphasize his unique ability to blend musical virtuosity with pure infectious joy and a sophisticated "hip" persona.
