COMPILATION

The second of two CDs put out in the Original Jazz Classics series that reissues material originally on the H.R.S. label, this volume has fine performances from bands led by three trombonists (Dicky Wells, Sandy Williams and J.C. Higginbotham) and trumpeter Joe Thomas; among the sidemen are Budd Johnson and Ted Nash on tenors, altoists Tab Smith, Lem Davis and Johnny Hodges, trumpeters Pee Wee Erwin and Sidney DeParis and baritonist Harry Carney. Although none of the recordings are classic and one can argue that the music is slightly behind the times, the solos are quite enjoyable and will be savored by small-group swing fans.
