Man these cats can swing.. and how. Wow! What a band. It's like being back in the glory days at the Savoy and they are smokin' the competition. I think they out-Duke the Duke on this one. Not to say that Duke's band couldn't swing but, Daddy-O, these cats are in the stratosphere on this one. Thanks
I'm sitting here in virtual space on New Year's Day 2007, resolving to MAKE more music--i.e. a score for the great jazzealot Billy Taylor, America's professorial Pied Piper. Thanks for the trek to Duke's Place.

The bass player is fantastic. There's no shot of him and he doesn't play anything fancy but he's driving the beat like a possessed man.
