"4 am" is a jazz album by the legendary Scat Man Crothers. The album features Crothers' signature scatting style and his impeccable ability to improvise on the piano. The album is a perfect blend of jazz and blues, with Crothers' unique voice adding a touch of soul to every track.

The album opens with the title track "4 am," a smooth and jazzy instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track "Moanin'" is a standout, with Crothers' scatting perfectly complementing the piano and saxophone.
