This LP brings together two related sessions.
Bob Wilber
(doubling on clarinet and soprano), who had first recorded two years earlier with his youth group (
the Wildcats
), was 21 at the time and
Sidney Bechet's
protege.
Wilber
is teamed up with pianist
Dick Wellstood
and a variety of top veterans (trumpeter
Henry Goodwin
, trombonist
Jimmy Archey
, bassist
Pops Foster
and drummer
Tommy Benford
) for six selections (including
"The Mooche,"
"The Saints" and "Limehouse Blues") while on six others he welcomes a rather dominant guest,
Bechet
himself. "Box Car Shorty" has a vocal by calypso singer
The Duke of Iron
,
talks a bit on "Love Me with a Feeling" and introduces his original "I'm Through, Goodbye." Timeless and somewhat offbeat New Orleans jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
