This one. A classic !

But the first Dameron album under his name that I purchased was the other one, the one with John Coltrane "Mating Call". Both are great.

Agreed, a classic ....

Sonny-mania, as it seems  ....

I´ve almost forgotten how good this is:

It´s interesting, there´s also a BN album of Clifford Brown titled "Clifford Brown Memorial". This one is a Prestige output.

Two sessions, both from 1953.

The Swedish musicians are superb ! It´s the creme de la creme of the then active swedish musicians, Lars Gullin, Arne Domnerus, Bengt Hallberg (it seems that he influenced Ray Bryant), and the combination with Art Farmer, both then in Lionel Hamptons gang I think.

And the Dameron session with Philly J.J., one of the best Dameron sessions. The Atlantic City band. And Benny Golson is great on his "Don Byas" styled tenor.

Good music, but one of the laziest concepts for an album cover ever devised!

Listening to:

I really loved this CD, both the "live" big band set and the small group studio recordings.  Band included members such as Conte Candoli, Uan Rasey, Jimmy Zito, Bill Perkins, Joe Maini, Gene Estes, Lou Levy and even Red Callender on tuba!  Frank Rosolino plays only on the small group tracks.  Charts by Benny Carter, Shorty Rogers, Marty Paich Bob Florence and George Williams for the big band and by Mr. Paich for the small group.  Music which sounds "of its time", but also still sounds fresh and lively today.  An easily recommended CD for fans of big band jazz or West Coast jazz.

Who was tenor saxophonist Carrington Visor?  I never heard that name before.

Based on one or more encounters, don't  recall what  they were, he was in the warm-toned Walter Benton/Curtis Amy/Teddy Edwards area. Great name, in any case.
