John Kirby - 1939-1941 '1994

Tracks list

The second of three Classics John Kirby CDs has 23 more titles in the history of
Kirbys unique sextet. The band, comprised of trumpeter Charlie Shavers,
clarinetist Buster Bailey, altoist Russell Procope, pianist Billy Kyle, drummer
ONeil Spencer, and the bassist/leader, performed cool-toned chamber jazz more
than a decade before it became popular, and carved out its own unusual niche
during the big-band era. The tight ensembles and brief solos brought out the
best in each of the players. Highlights of this highly recommended disc include
Humoresque, Jumpin in the Pump Room, Chloe, Sextet From Lucia, and Zooming at
the Zombie.
