Charles Brown – Piano & Vocals
Johnny Moore – Guitar
Eddie Williams – Bass

Recorded between 1945 – 1946 in Los Angeles
Realeased in 1996

Johnny Moore’s Three Blazers were a successful and influential rhythm & blues vocal and instrumental group in the 1940s and 1950s. The original members were: Johnny Moore (1906-1969), Charles Brown (1920-1999) and Eddie Williams (1912-1995).

England’s exemplary Ace Records label does its usual brilliant job of bringing the truly essential recordings of the late swing bluesman Charles Brown to a single CD. Driftin’ & Dreamin’ captures Brown with Johnny Moore’s under-celebrated but no less influential Three Blazers. “Travelin’ Blues” (later released as “Driftin’ Blues, Pt.2″) is here, as are both parts of the “Warsaw Concerto,” “So Long,” and a gorgeous reading of Irving Berlin’s “How Deep Is the Ocean.” This is one packed-to-the-gills, laid-back treat. --- Thom Jurek, allmusic.com
