What a record!!...Jewel spent time with LOUIS ARMSTRONG- ARNETT COBB- DIZZY GILLESPIE back in the day and cut a great record with MILTON HOPKINS for Dialtone a while back.......This set was recorded in Japan with the oddly named BLOODEST SAXOPHONE group featuring Koda "Young Corn" Shintaro on tenor.......The band is red hot and swinging and can really rock the blues when the tune calls for it.....Jewel is a veteran who seems to know the right phrasing for each tune......KILLER DILLER!........
