In the 50's, the Fletcher Henderson band reformed for a jazz festival appearance. Fortunately they were able to find their way into a studio to lay down this rockin album. They used the original Henderson charts and had Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster on tenors. The men were inspired and the music is too. An added bonus is the fact that unlike back in the 78 days, the band was allowed to stretch out on the songs. You get lots of solo's and the songs build up some tremondous momentum. One of my favorites is "casey stew", where the band actually improvises a jam over a riff by guitarist Al Casey. Wow!
Now if someone will just find the recording of the comcert............ December 3, 2005
