Buck Jumpin'

Buck Jumpin' is an album by guitarist Al Casey which was recorded in 1960 and released on the Swingville label.

Reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "Al Casey, who will always be best known as Fats Waller's guitarist, makes one of his few appearances as a bandleader ... The music consistently swings and it is a rare pleasure to hear Casey getting the opportunity to stretch out on acoustic guitar".
