I'm enjoying this marvelous album, in which there's also his brother, Claude at piano, plus Max Bennet or Leroy Vinnegar and Stan Levey or Mel Lewis. And as I love west coast jazz, this is heaven. And Charlie Mariano, whom I forgot the first time around.

I saw Jiggs Whigham once locally.  He had with him a plastic trombone and a rep from the company was in attendance.  I'll always remember the look on the rep's face when Jiggs threw the trombone to him (twice!).  It was a combined look of horror, annoyance and relief (when he caught it).  Jiggs sounded great on plastic and brass trombone and seemed like a fun guy.

A very enjoyable recording.

Yes. Jiggs is an outstanding player.  On this CD, he stands out to me as the most interesting and creative soloist, even among this heavyweight crew.
