Description:
2 CD set. Four classic Edmond Hall albums as leader and sideman, including original LP liner notes on a finely re mastered double CD. 'Petite Fleur', 'Rumpus On Rampart Street', ' Teddy Buckner and the All Stars' and ' Jazz at the Savoy' plus selections from 'Jazz at Storyville' and 'Edmond Hall in Buenos Aires'. With a few short spells running his own band along the way, the late 1950's finally saw Hall go freelance and form his own band. He was considered one of the great clarinetist in the New Orleans tradition. According to great supporter Nat Hentoff in his liner notes for 'Rumpus On Rampart Street', 'he is playing the hottest clarinet in contemporary jazz'. A gentle and polite individual off stage he became a deeply swinging and intensely emotional improviser once he had his clarinet in his hands. A long time sideman, Hall was happiest as his own leader where his love of improvisation could take full flight. |
