Yes, I bought this LP when it came out, as a deletion. It is also on the Shorty Rogers Mosaic box set. Never saw Shorty alas but did get to see Pete Jolly and Bill Holman and briefly met Bill - nice guy. I remember Jazz Journal doing features on Shorty’s UK tours in the 70s and 80s. Will have to check those out. Pretty sure Steve Voce wrote the articles. Edited December 6, 2022 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helped that the local presence of jazz-fan and media star Miles Kington helped to make such things happen. Sadly, no longer to be.

Pim Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 The west coast stuff from the early/mid fifties is my favorite Chet ❤️ it breathes a certain atmosphere I just really like. When I close my eyes I feel like I am on the other side of the ocean in that very decade which is interesting as I never visited the States and I was born in 1990… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
