I heard a track off this album earlier today and was really intrigued by the many great musicians the announcer mentioned who played on this live date. Recorded at the 1959 Monterey Jazz Festival, musicians included:
Herman on clarinet or alto, Al Porcino and Bill Chase on first trumpets, Conte Candoli and Ray Linn taking trumpet solos, trombonist Urbie Green, Victor Feldman on piano and vibes, guitarist Charlie Byrd, bassist Monty Budwig, drummer Mel Lewis, baritonist Med Flory, and the tenors of Zoot Sims, Don Lanphere, Bill Perkins, and Richie Kamuca.
Any thoughts on this release?
