How is it/what's it like? The Discogs page makes it look interesting, but part of me wonders whether it would be as fiery as a modern European big band from a couple decades earlier...

I needed something totally different after an intense show tonight, so I'm channeling alocispepraluger:

Bobby Hackett - Dream Awhile (Columbia 6-eye stereo).

This one is so corny that it makes me laugh at times, but Hackett plays wonderfully.

Chicago piano trio album w/Willie Pickens, very standard repertoire (one would be tempted to call it "lounge", if not for the derogatory connotation of that), but Vernell Fournier is a different enough drummer & Pickens a deep enough player that things stay interesting because of the repertoire, not in spite of it.

How odd is seems today to be playing a Roy Eldridge LP that could have been bought in 1976 as a new release by a living artist as part of the same purchase that could have included other recent new releases by other living artists Woody Shaw, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Grover Washington, Jr., & Weather Report.

And can you ever have enough Budd Johnson? So far, no, you can't.

Yes, Roy still had it going in the late 70s!
