Derek Jewell plays contemporary compositions by Michael Colombier, whose distinguished helpers include Jaco Pastorious, Herbie Hancock and Steve Gadd, and from the revived British band, UK. In contrast, music of the past comes from the current celebration of Fats Waller's genius Ain't Misbehavin', rediscovered recordings by Frank Sinatra and from Spike Jones and the City Slickers.
