Louis Bellson: Big Band Jazz From The Summit

Someone else mentioned/endorsed this a bit more recently than Berthold, adding that Fresh Sound had put it out with additional small group tracks recorded in the studio a few days after the Summit gig. I just picked it up minus the small group tracks on a Real Gone compilation of seven Bellson albums, and I agree that this is an exceptional album. For one thing, most of the charts are by Benny Carter at the top of his game (those sax-section soli), the band is inspired, as is Bellson (he and bassist Jimmy Bond are locked in), and Joe Maini's several solos are the best I've ever heard from him. Also, the other poster who mentioned this album noted the presence of tenorman Carrington Visor, who in fact plays his ass off when he gets chance.
