Notes: I
picked this record up at a flea market for the front cover graphics
and was pleasantly surprised by the music within. As the title
says it is a collection of jazz with some swinging percussion
to keep the beat. From his background with such luminaries as
Maynard Ferguson, Stan Kenton and Woody Herman, Bill has put
together his quartet to support his ever clear horn work. A nice
selection of material leaves the listener wanting more. All arrangements
and the six original tunes are to be credited to the piano player,
Bob Freedman. As mentioned earlier the cover has simple yet effective
graphics and the inner cover has extensive liner notes discussing
each tune at length. A fine find.
