The Last of the Blue Devils is an album by jazz pianist Jay McShann, recorded in 1977 and released by the Atlantic label.
Reception
The Globe and Mail wrote that "a sextet is his backup, a stripped-down band which is perfect both for pushing through an old swing number like 'Jumpin' at the Woodside' to make it live again and adding the proper burlesque touch to his vocal ''Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do'."
The AllMusic review by Rick Anderson noted: "McShann had much more to offer the world than his role as caregiver to the inventor of bebop. Leading an all-star cast ... McShann teaches an entire course on the history of blues-based jazz... Highly recommended".
