专辑简介

This recording is truly a varied "Serving" of music styles from Robert Moore.

Opening with his original straight-ahead swinging "Two Little Words", with exquisite solos by Delfeayo Marsalis and Victor Goines, followed by the playful and soulful Fats Waller standard “Sweet Sue, Just You”, a fun jam-like version of “Scrapple” blended with “Honeysuckle Rose”, the ever-constant blues ballad “Don’t Go to Strangers”, and followed by an acoustic version of an old Woody Herman blues “I’ve Got News for You”.

Perhaps the premier piece on the recording, a beautiful original instrumental “Magnolia”, is followed by Django’s playful “Swing 42”, then an Otis Redding-like soul tune called “Beat Ya To It”, and a western swing novelty item entitled “You Should Be More Like Me”.

Next, a gorgeous rendition of the sultry jazz ballad “Ain’t No Use”, and the “Serving” is recapped with another original “Little Boy Blue”, done in pure “second-line” style, recorded in New Orleans with a stellar band lineup - Victor Goines, Delfeayo Marsalis, Ed Peterson, Victor Atkins, Ed Pulphus and Troy Davis. Moore’s Birmingham band includes Mark Kimbrell, Cleve Eaton, Charlie Dennard, and Don Davis.
