King (who cites Jennings as one of his favorites). King calls him a "daring" player, "both rhythmically and technically. . . because he would start a groove to going, and then whatever it takes to keep that groove going, he would do it."The Indianapolis picker's music was rediscovered in the Nineties by a new generation of guitarists, including Junior Watson, Duke Robillard, and Rusty Zinn, who've incorporated elements of Jennings's lean, swinging approach into their blues performances. The reissue of these rare 1959-60 recordings--with a band featuring Jackson bandmate Jack McDuff--should help to enhance Jennings's standing in the public's pantheon of great jazz and blues guitar players.with Al Jennings, Wendell Marshall, Alvin Johnson.
