Heckler's Hop by Roy Eldridge - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Jazz trumpeter Roy Eldridge was one of the first to take the pervasive Louis Armstrong influence and build on it, forming his own unique sound--many critics consider him the link between Armstrong and bebop trumpet icon Dizzy Gillespie. This collection of small-group tracks from the mid- to late 1930s captures Eldridge in wonderful form: brash, brassy, and wildly imaginative. The title track is a tour-de-force, where Eldridge points to where jazz would go in the future while swinging wildly all the way. The Ellington-like "That Thing" features wonderfully and gleefully sly blues playing, and "Swing Is Here" is a rollicking dance number that encapsulates everything great about the big, danceable jazz bands of the '30s. As a bonus, this set also features several jazz giants at (or approaching) their creative peaks: Benny Goodman, Chu Berry, Zutty Singleton, and singer Helen Ward. HECKLER'S HOP is recommended for fans of swing-era jazz and is essential for fans of jazz trumpet.
