The Best of Jonathan Winters

Grandma Frickert, Chester Honeyhugger and other comic characters from the fertile mind of Jonathan Winters make brief appearances on this audio sampler. The recording fails to capture the improvisational edge that has made Winters a unique comedian. Problems include second-rate material, poor segues and lack of thematic organization. The production quality varies a great deal and must have been recorded at different times. Overall, the program doesn't do justice to Winters's reputation. E.E.L. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
