Slim Idaho Trio, Erskine Butterfield Quartet - Impossible / Tain't What'Cha Do flac album

Erskine Butterfield (February 9, 1913 – July 11, 1961) was an American pianist, singer, bandleader and composer, active in the 1930s to the 1950s, and best known for his boogie-woogie and swing piano style. Born in Syracuse, New York, Butterfield played piano at an early age when his family moved to Newark, New Jersey, where he later studied piano.

Tain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It) is a song written by jazz musicians Melvin "Sy" Oliver and James "Trummy" Young. It was first recorded in 1939 by Jimmie Lunceford, Harry James, and Ella Fitzgerald, and again the same year by Nat Gonella and His Georgians. The "shim sham" is often danced to the Lunceford recording of this song. The jazz tune was transformed into a pop song with ska elements in 1982

About Erskine Butterfield. The professional career of this pianist and prolific recording artist began when he wandered into the publishing offices of then-successful recording artist and composer Clarence Williams with hopes of selling and song or two. It was the mid-'30s, and whatever songs Erskine Butterfield had on tap at that time have been forgotten, since Williams wasn't ready to publish them. Williams did recognize the man's musical potential, however, hiring Butterfield right then and there as a pianist, and according to legend teaching him to play the blues. His combo at Fort Dix included talented inductees such as guitarist Slim Furness from the Three Keys, drummer Eugene Brooks from the Eddie Heywood band, and bassist Lynwood Jones from the Loumell Morgan Trio. Royalties continued coming in from other artists recording Butterfield's compositions as well.
