Where there's life, there's Hope. Bob Hope. Jazz fusion meets the greatest entertainer of the twentieth century. The second Playground band recorded live in 1982. Fran McDonald: drums/ Josh Shneider: alto sax/ Joey Berkley: tenor sax/ Ed Mills: bass/ Frank Burrows: guitar
Beautiful job (aside from how great it is 2 hear this music again); many priceless shots. Of course u got my attention w/ Shirley Ross at 4:38 (from the scene/song that put Bob on the map; 'Thanks for the Memory,' indeed), & there's that great - & perfectly deployed - image at 4:54 (where the hell is that from?), but u really up the up the editing ante 2 devastating effect from 5:29 on w/ Brando on the horn vamp. Bravo, Frank. Keep Hope alive, indeed. Bob - & Fran - would be mightily pleased.
