In light of my recent faux pas and not thoroughly researching musicians I had never heard, so rather than make that mistake again...here are the story on the players on this 1957 Red Norvo date...The bass player was a scenester from 52nd St. The drummer was a Central Ave. denizen and a bit of a swing veteran. The horn player went on to compose many TV soundtracks, and the guitar player was already reknown for his western swing playing, and unfortunately passed away just earlier this year.
While only listed as "supervision", Shorty Rogers fingerprints are all over this thing.
Aaah, once again, warts and all, a mono lp copy...

tried to look at the "companion" link, unfortunately it seems to be friends-only. is there a private message option here on blogger?
Cheers from the Baron - missed this one - how?
