Buddy Cole is hard to explain... He wasn't your typical white roller skater/easy listening organist... nor was he exactly a groovy soul Jazz player... (as per Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith and Jimmy McGriff.) He was one monster of a SWINGER (in the retro/hip/ultra lounge) sense of the word... If any stylistic comparisons can be made, you might point in the direction of Wild Bill Davis perhaps... in fact, in many ways, the album is simply a master session player emulating the king of Organ Swing in a popularly fathomable style... (There's also a bit of Jackie Davis going on !) and at the time he played with the top Hollywood stars of the era (Peggy Lee, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby) as a quintessential session man. Think Dick Hyman for example... not 100% original, but capable of playing convincing renditions of tunes in a wide variety of authentic sounding styles.. ~Eddie Landsberg
