American tunes

"Where The Bright Mississippi focused firmly on jazz standards, American Tunes positions these prewar standards as just part of the fabric ... He was an American original, and American Tunes functions as a lovely coda to a legendary career".

"Somewhere in the poly-stylistic Venn diagram that birthed Allen Toussaint's vibrant and diverse musical catalog lie the spirits of Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Glen Campbell, Professor Longhair and more. When combining those influences alongside modern era virtuosos like Bill Frisell, Rhiannon Giddens, Van Dyke Parks and others, something pleasantly expected emerges. A step left of center yet still striking familiar chords right on time, Allen Toussaint show us his understated brilliance one final time".
