Best known today for his graceful work accompanying Billie Holiday, Texas native Teddy Wilson first broke out in the mid-'30s while playing piano in the Benny Goodman Trio. From that era, “After You've Gone” showcases both his delicate touch and his knack for restrained yet soulful solos. Later leading his own jazz ensembles, Wilson proves more debonair than ever on “Fools Rush In”, while “Honeysuckle Rose” speaks to his ability to swing without fuss or muss. And kicking off Holiday's jaunty valentine “What a Little Moonlight Can Do”, he quickens his light-fingered delivery to foreshadow the singer's breezily winsome turn.
