Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting a massively pivotal 1947 return to a smaller, fiercely improvisational format, this crucial concert fundamentally birthed the highly successful 'All Stars' era. The incredibly joyous vocal phrasing and staggeringly powerful trumpet leads perfectly spearheaded the mid-century New Orleans traditional jazz revival.
