In March, Mose Allison released his first album in 15 years, “The Way of the World,” and watched as warm reviews started coming in from venues such as Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, Time and more. (The record scored a highly respectable 78 on the review aggregator site metacritic.com.) “(California-based label) Anti-has done more publicity than anybody on any record I’ve ever made, so I’ve been written about in a lot of places that don’t usually write about me,” Allison demurs.
“I was surprised. I have fans everywhere, but not the mass audience, you know?” Allison, who performs about 100 shows a year, returns with bassist Ron Brendle on Dec. 3-4 for his traditional stop at the Jazz Corner at the Village at Wexford. “Sometimes I do tunes that I wrote 30 years ago, and people will think I just wrote them,” Allison said with a laugh. “I’ve been doing the same thing for 60 years.” Details: 843-842-8620. www.thejazzcorner.com.
