Info for From The Age of Swing

As the title implies, this is very much a swing set. Pianist Dick Hyman (a master of all pre-bop styles) has little difficulty emulating Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum and Count Basie (among others) plus his own style in an octet also featuring trumpeter Joe Wilder, trombonist Urbie Green, altoist-clarinetist Phil Bodner, baritonist Joe Temperley, rhythm guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, bassist Milt Hinton, drummer Butch Miles and (on three tunes) altoist Frank Wess. The opening and closing numbers are ad-lib blues both titled 'From the Age of Swing'; sandwiched in between are ten swing-era standards plus a couple of obscure Duke Ellington items. Among the highlights are 'Topsy,' 'Them There Eyes,' 'Rose Room' and 'Mean to Me.' No real surprises occur, but mainstream fans should like this swinging set. (Scott Yanow)

„With Phil Bodner, Urbie Green, Milt Hinton, Butch Miles, Bucky Pizzarelli, Joe Temperley, Frank Wess and Joe Wilder! This new 176.4 kHz/24 bit release, transferred from the original analogue master, will knock your socks off with its fabulous performances and sonics! It has been a perennial favorite at RR.RR's all-time fastest seller!“ (Down Beat)
