Remembering Mose Allison on his birthday 🎂
📷 Jack Vartoogian, 1998
"In the South, I’m considered an advanced bebop type. In New York, I’m considered a country blues-folk type. Actually, I don’t think I’m either. Maybe I’m a little of both."

Mose Allison by Ebet Roberts, 1989
"He established himself playing & singing in a gentle, understated way, in a narrow range & using a bouncing, jigging rhythm that was closely related to the so-called 'swamp music' that Jimmy Giuffre was playing."
- John S. Wilson
