Bob Florence died much too early. I am a big band fan and have everything he cut on records and some unissued material he did here in Germany with the radio Frankfurt big band. He preferred to arrange longer tracks to give the artists solo space. For my taste he belongs to the top 2 or 3 West Coast big bands beside Bill Holmans orchestra and the Shorty Rogers Big Express. Can recommend also his album "Westlake" on Discovery/Trend (Albert Marx production).

😁 👍 ❤️ I do like this one too that is nearly everything from Boll & his big band + many arrangememnts for other groups. He brought even Stans band to swing like mad. Throughout Europe he directed many radio bigbands of the different countries as from Switzerland, Germany (WDR big band / radio Frankfurt big band/ radio Hamburg big band) and also in the Netherlands. A real giant he was.

Yes the complete 16 CD Box is a real treasure box on my shelves and as Art Pepper fan a must. The booklet shows all these original covers like above. Havent seen these in original size. Thanks for the Info

Well Wilbur Ware and Philly Joe are a strong rhythm section and Johnny Coles isnt that bad either. Here we seem to disagree ;-]]

Re Tina Brooks; HI Gheorghe, do you mean probably these two?

Have the 2 on CD I mean searching these mentioned by Gheorghe. The best Tina Brook I heard was his solos on a live Kenny Burrell CD, and on one of those Jimmy Smith jams, I never knew which is which....

Love the sound of the trombones. Here's a bunch of them. Progressuve Records PRO 7018 - The All Star Trombone Spectacular - rec. 1977 - Engineer: Fred Miller
