It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Lucky Peterson on Sunday, May 17, 2020 at 2:25 PM CST in Dallas, Texas. He was at home when he became ill and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but unfortunately did not recover. At this time please respect the family’s privacy, but do keep them in your prayers.
It seems like a short while ago that all the players on this album were playing around Dallas, but alas every single one except the pianist (the one unfamiliar name) is now deceased.

I needed a jazz party, and this joyous, rollicking, hard swinging recording, sounding exactly like the band sounds live, fit the bill.
Cannonball Adderley, En Route (Mercury)
Prestige Blues Swingers featuring Coleman Hawkins, Stasch (Prestige Swingville)
Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Philly Joe Jones, Charlie Persip, Drum Night at Birdland (Roulette)
Yes, I'm just kidding around myself. I'm not actually sure what I think of Herb Alpert; he's someone who was on TV a lot when I was a kid. To make a career out of playing the trumpet in the United States is actually an impressive achievement, regardless of the music.
