A COMPACT ORCHESTRA OF BRILLIANT REBELS: MARTY GROSZ, FRANK CHACE, JOHN DENGLER (July 5, 1957)

My description isn’t to be taken lightly.

Listen to Marty Grosz, banjo and tenor guitar; John Dengler, cornet and bass saxophone; the mighty and unpredictable Frank Chace, clarinet. Recorded probably in Chicago, July 5, 1957. Thanks to Hal Smith for the source material. Choosing familiar material on which to improvise let the three luminaries have fun and take chances.

ALL I DO IS DREAM OF YOU. Don’t miss Frank’s thrilling solo entrance!

DINAH (its only flaw is that it didn’t go on for twenty minutes more):

What a hot Philharmonic. No equals.

May your happiness increase!

  1. Those aren’t just bass lines; they’re bass canyons. Incredible music (and that’s saying something considering what else is available on this website).
