Oh, hell no.  That's nowhere near enough!  Mose Allison is one of the
all-time jazz piano greats, a brilliant songwriter (he also wrote "Parchman
Farm," which has been covered and/or ripped off by just about everyone) and
one of my favorite jazz vocalists.  Plus you simply can't go wrong with a
guy who writes songs called "Your Molecular Structure" and "Your Mind Is On
Vacation But Your Mouth Is Working Overtime." The Rhino anthology ALLISON
WONDERLAND is an excellent starting point.
