Recorded five days after a similar performance at the Montmartre in Copenhagen by the same personnel (violinist
Stuff Smith, pianist
Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer
Alex Riel),
Stuff and his quartet are once again heard in top form. Four of the nine songs are repeated from the earlier date, but unfortunately, the music on this LP is currently out of print. On such tunes as "Bugle Blues," "Mack the Knife," "One O'Clock Jump" and "Take the 'A' Train,"
Stuff Smith shows that he was as hard-swinging an improviser as any horn player and that at the age of 55 he had not run out of gas yet.
