Boo Yaka! Boo Yaka!
This band was so tight, even at lightning tempo. The cover is bland but not the music!!!!

I’m surprised there isn’t a blog/list that covers “Crap Covers on LPs that deliver astonishingly good music” or “LP covers that say, 'What were they thinking?’” I think you get the idea.

I’ve a soft spot for Charlie Barnet so when I saw this in the clearance bins I snagged it for a few pounds. I am just getting to look at it and it's a comp of a couple of dates from the mid to late 60s. The stand out factor (aside from the being tasty from the first track) is the support band(s) consisting of players like:
- Alto Saxophone [Alt] – Charlie Barnet, Dick Meldonian, Willie Smith (2)
- Baritone Saxophone [Bar] – Danny Bank
- Bass [Bs] – Eddie Jones
- Drums [dm] – Steve Little
- Flugelhorn [Flg] – Clark Terry
- Piano [Pno] – Nat Pierce
- Soprano Saxophone [Sop] – Charlie Barnet
- Tenor Saxophone [Ten] – Richie Kamuca, Stan Edson
- Trombone [Tmb] – Billy Tole*, Herb Wise, Jack Jeffers, Jimmy Cleveland
- Trumpet [Tpt] – Clark Terry, Clyde Reasinger, George Triffon, Randy Brecker, Snooky Young

I've got that one too! If I remember correctly, it followed me home from Philadelphia more than a decade ago. Will have to pull it out when I get home. Definitely a keeper!
I'm on the road, so it's all streaming for now. Still on Clifford Brown.

A total chance on this one as I’d never heard of Richard Twardzik. BUT, its a PacJazz reissue of some earlier sides and while searching around for info on RT, it appears he played with Chet Baker among other. Unfortunately he had a nasty habit and died in Paris in 1955 (age 24). It is a shame as his touch on the keyboard is nice.
Giving the cassette deck and a little workout . . .
