A bit of a hodge-podge, this CD features
the Dirty Dozen Brass Band (comprised of two trumpets, two saxes, sometimes one trombone, the sousaphone of
Kirk Joseph, snare drum and bass drum) welcoming such guests as singer
Eddie Bo, guitarist-vocalist
Danny Barker (showcased on "Don't You Feel My Leg"), trumpeter
Dave Bartholomew (heard on "The Monkey") and rock singer
Elvis Costello. However it is the R&Bish parade band that is the main star, romping through group originals plus
Cannonball Adderley's "Inside Straight" and "Kidd Jordan's Second Line." ~ Scott Yanow
