Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded during his stay in Paris, this dynamic set finds the highly competitive swing-era trumpet pioneer engaging directly with modern jazz frameworks. His fiercely aggressive, upper-register soloing style bridges the gap between pre-war showmanship and the complex harmonic demands of post-war bebop.
