Mose Allison has lived in New York since 1956, but his smoky piano blues still bear the imprint of the Mississippi country where he came of age. A close disciple of Nat King Cole and Louis Jordan, Allison found new audiences in the '60s and '70s when British howlers like the Yardbirds and Van Morrison championed him as the epitome of cool. The pianist has also played with jazzmen like Stan Getz and Zoot Sims, but his rollicking chords and lighthearted lyrics defy genre convention. Now 80, Allison's genial voice remains an understated, lovely instrument.
