B1. Stuffy
This obscure Verve LP (not yet reissued on CD) has an attractive cover with photos of the 15 remarkable all-stars who are featured on the live date. There are only three songs on the album, and they feature two different groups. The opening "The Slow Blues" is just OK, with rather perfunctory solos, but its follow-up, the "I Got Rhythm"-based "Merry Go Round," has some strong sparks. Heard from on these tunes are , and on tenors, altoist , pianist , guitarist , bassist and drummer . , who concludes "Merry Go Round," easily takes honors. The flip side of the album has a lengthy version of "Stuffy" (based on "Lady Be Good") with trumpeter (who starts his solo with some fireworks), and on tenors, trombonist , pianist , bassist and drummer . and largely steal the show. Overall, this is a worthwhile LP, although it does not quite reach the heights of the best JATP shows.
