Mose Allison - Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me

Mose Allison was born today in 1927! RIP. A great jazz/blues piano player and vocalist, as demonstrated on this great Ellington/Russell tune.

This is from 2021's Gold-Digger's Sound. It has a gold cover, which is the connection. Leon Bridges is super talented and his stuff is worth exploring.
