Floyd McDaniel was 78 when, in 1994, he recorded Let Your Hair Down! for the Chicago-based Delmark. Through the years, the singer/guitarist had been the type of artist who had one foot in pre-bebop jazz and one in urban blues--and that approach continues to serve him nicely on this CD. McDaniel's credentials as a jump blues shouter are illustrated by inspired versions of Louis Jordan's Caldonia, {|T-Bone Walker|}'s Blue Mood and {|Roy Milton|}'s R.M. Blues, while his talents as a jazz singer are evident on {|Duke Ellington|}'s It Don't Mean That Thing and {|Billie Holiday|}'s God Bless The Child. On this album, McDaniel leads a cohesive, swinging octet known as the Blues Swingers, which consists of a hard-swinging rhythm section and four horn players, including trumpeter {|Mike McLaughlin|}, tenor saxophonist {|Dave Clark|}, alto saxophonist Paul Mundy and baritone saxophonist/clarinetist Martin Van Kelly. Let Your Hair Down! would be among McDaniel's last recordings; the veteran artist died the following year. Music>Music>Blues>Blues>Blues, Delmark Core >3<
