MOSE ALLISON
with STAN GILBERT bass, MEL LEE drums
Known for his cool, laconic singing and piano playing, he blended blues and modern jazz with truly inimitable style.
Not unlike his namesake, Luther Allison, pianist Mose Allison suffered from a "categorization problem,"
given his equally brilliant career. Although his boogie-woogie and bebop-laden piano style
was innovative and fresh-sounding when it came to blues and jazz, it was as a songwriter
that Allison really excelled. Allison's songs have been recorded by the Who ("Young Man Blues"),
Leon Russell ("I'm Smashed"), and Bonnie Raitt ("Everybody's Cryin' Mercy").
Other admirers have included Tom Waits, John Mayall, Georgie Fame, the Rolling Stones,
and Van Morrison. But because he always played both blues and jazz, and not one
to the exclusion of the other, his career suffered. As he himself admitted, he had a "category"
problem that lingered throughout his career. "There's a lot of places I don't work
because they're confused about what I do," he explained in a 1990 interview in
Goldmine magazine. Despite the lingering confusion, Allison was one
of the finest songwriters in blues of the 20th and early 21st centuries
