Todays classic, 12/26/14: Fats Waller: Baby, Oh! Where Can You - TopicsExpress



          

Todays classic, 12/26/14: Fats Waller: Baby, Oh! Where Can You Be? (8/29/29). Fats Waller, piano solo. We had to pass over Fats pipe organ solo on this because there was no easily accessible spot that I could find on the web. Fortunately the piano solo version recorded the next day is on YouTube. This is taken at about the same tempo as Waitin at the End of the Road. The pattern is similar to many of Wallers piano solos. Fats plays an intro followed by a relatively straight chorus. Then he plays the verse straight and the chorus with improvised fills while sticking close to the melody. Then there is much more improvising on the final chorus, followed by a coda. https://youtube/watch?v=7M_Mwc2Z0jg
