A great pair of Albums, made a couple of years apart, both featuring
Bobby Hackett and
Jack Teargarden as well as a host of top flight Jazz/Dixieland players. I said in a previous post not to be put off by the Dixieland tag, and I say the same here.
Once you get your teeth into this it's easy to hear the sheer quality of both the music and the musicianship.
