I've always loved the TV Action Jazz album and didn't know there was a Volume 2. Who's on it?
The usual New York session cats of that era - George Duvivier, Eddie Costa, Clark Terry, Phil Bodner, Ed Shaughnessy.
Main difference with this album is that it includes a four-man trombone section with Urbie Green. Also, some of the tunes on this album don't pop up very frequently on crime jazz albums, like "Tightrope," "The Detectives Theme," "Markham Theme."
Also, the full name of this album is "Themes from Mr. Lucky, The Untouchables, and other TV Action Jazz."
I think "TV Action Jazz" has to be one of the greatest LP titles ever. It's like everything I dreamed of as a kid packed into three words.
