AND HER INTERNATIONAL JAZZ SEXTET

UNITED NOTIONS

Description:
Long out of print, this bop date originally issued on the Metrojazz label is not the first date as a leader by Toshiko Akiyoshi, but it is a gem worth acquiring. The pianist is joined in New York by an all star group that includes either cornetist Nat Adderley or trumpeter Doc Severinsen, clarinetist/alto saxophonist Rolf Kuhn, flutist/tenor saxophonist/baritone saxophonist Bobby Jaspar, guitarist Rene Thomas, bassist John Drew, and drummer Bert Dahlander. There's a feeling of camaraderie as a mixture of head arrangements and written charts of standards, as well as original material by the participants, unfold before the listener. The record begins on a slightly campy note as each musician, following the leader's example, introduces himself in his native language.
