This is early Moe Koffman. Swinging Shepherd Blues became his "theme" song. But his later work is much better. His album of Bach tunes is fantastic (not sure this ever made it to CD), and I loved his Best of Moe Koffman vols 1+2 CD to death. Now I find it's out of print and I can't replace it. Major bummer. This is his best CD and seriously needs reissuing.PS. Koffman died about a year ago. Wouldn't this be a good time for some retrospective CD?
