The second release from the Arbors label once again features multi-reedist
Rick Fay on clarinet, tenor and soprano. The most notable aspect of this CD is that the colorful cornetist Ernie Carson is well showcased, featured with the septet that also includes trombonist Charlie Bornemann and a four-piece rhythm section. All three of the horn players sing in spots as best they can, but it is the instrumentals (most notably "Shine," "Japanese Sandman," "Spain" and "Cake Walkin' Babies From Home") that make this a recommended set for Dixieland fans. ~ Scott Yanow
