Tracks list

This impossible-to-find LP from the 1950s contains two fine selections featuring
a quartet comprised of Lionel Hampton, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Buddy Rich
but is most memorable for the other two numbers which add the great clarinetist
Buddy DeFranco to the band. Their version of Its Only a Paper Moon is remarkably
uptempo and really swings hard; Hampton challenges his fellow legends to some
spectacular playing.

Tracks:

01. Air Mail Special (Goodman-Mundy-Christian) - 7:38
02. Soft Winds (Goodman) - 6:13
03. Its Only a Paper Moon (Arlen-Rose-Harburg) - 6:52
04. The Way You Look Tonight (Fields-Kern) - 11:11
