Mose Allison, one of the top lyricists of the ’90s, shows throughout this entertaining CD that his powers as a pianist and singer are also very much intact. The album introduces a few new classics in “Certified Senior Citizen,” “This Ain’t Me” and “Who’s in, Who’s Out.” His voice is still in prime form and his piano playing remains quite unique. It is true that the guests on the set (guitarist John Scofield, altoist Joe Lovano, Bob Malach on tenor and trumpeter Randy Brecker) are not all that necessary but Allison’s performance makes this an excellent showcase for his music. ~ Scott Yanow
