(did ya know you could listen to complete albums for quite a few artists on myspace??? I sure didn't til a few weeks ago-yeah, before you anyone says it, I know this isn't the complete album)

Sure as hell sounds like it to me, but I can't find any info about him being on this recording!

Here is the amazon info for this now out of print cd, with some performers mentioned on the back...

Thanks for any help!

It starts right at 2:07 and it's definitely not Red. At 2:13 he doees a little rip that is a Bunny trademark. BUT imho it's a Bunny influenced horn, not Bunny - the rest of the solo isn't up to Bunny's talent.

I agree with Harold Z. The solo is Berigan-esque, but Bunny would definitely be stronger and more self-assured.
