Peter Friedman

George Tucker (not Ben) was a favorite of mine who played an a number of (especially) Prestige albums. He had a large round full sound on his bass. Unfortunately he died too young.

Reading this thread caused me to check out my 6 volumes of this CD. The tune referred to is not on any of the 6 volumes. Just listened to Vol.1. It has John Lewis, Gene Ramey and Jo Jones on 12 of the 14 tracks. They were all broadcasts from 1951. Audio quality is very good. The first 2 tracks are from the Royal Roost in 1948 & 1949.
