History
Mose Allison put the Mississippi Delta and modern jazz into the same small room. A pianist and singer from the Delta, he moved to New York in the 1950s and worked in jazz groups before recording under his own name for Prestige, where Back Country Suite in 1957 set rural blues themes into short, sketch-like trio pieces. His piano playing came from bebop and its harmonic language, while his singing stayed light, drawling and conversational, closer to a country bluesman talking than to a jazz crooner. What set him apart were the lyrics: dry, sardonic, often very funny observations about modern life, delivered with a straight face. Songs such as "Parchman Farm", "Young Man Blues", "Your Mind Is on Vacation" and "I Don't Worry About a Thing" became favourites among British rock and R&B musicians, and The Who recorded "Young Man Blues" on stage. He kept touring and recording into the 2010s. Listeners know him by the understated voice, the crisp trio swing and a punchline hidden in every chorus.
