A fun tune composed by the often underrated Trumpeter Dizzy Reece. He sounds great here with his half US half European band and British jazz star saxophonist Tubby Hayes. Lots of 2-5 and variations on a theme in Melody. This record is awesome and a classic example of what makes this period in jazz so much fun, still sophisticated but willing to have a good time. Good times all around!
ALBUM: Blues In Trinity
