Buck Clayton All-Stars (1993)

Reviewed by Chip Deffaa | Jul 30, 1993
EW's GRADE
B+

Details Genres: Documentary, Musical; With: Buck Clayton and Jimmy Witherspoon

Buck Clayton All-Stars is worth the price of the videocassette just to see Jimmy Witherspoon — one of our greatest jazz/blues singers, who is also shamefully underdocumented on film — singing his classic ''Ain't Nobody's Business'' and ''Roll 'Em Pete'' with original Count Bassie band stars Buck Clayton, Earle Warren, and Buddy Tate (reunited for a 1961 European tour). B+
