Description:
Bonus track * . The complete original album 'Swing Goes Dixie' Verve MGV1010, presenting the great Roy Eldridge in an unusual context as the leader of a group playing mostly Traditional and Dixieland jazz. The group consists of a sextet, which also features trombonist Benny Morton, and two stars from the classic Count Basie rhythm section: Walter Page and Jo Jones. As a bonus, added is one complete session that was also recorded for Verve a few years earlier. The date showcases Eldridge in a very similar mood to that of our main album. Also included, the only two tracks featuring Eldridge from a Ralph Burns LP. |
