Now go shoot off some bottle rockets or something!
Thnx Hook. What an interesting session.
Drakes, who spent some time playing in R&B bands, is surprisingly fleet and coherent, advanced swing verging into bebop. Silver is under-miked, but what I can pick out sounds a bit different than he sounded with Getz in his earlier sessions.
Otis
As said above, a very interesting session. Thanks! And funny it should be on that date! Cheers
THANK YOU
