Description

As a bonus, a rare session by a Red Norvo sextet that included Edison, Ben Webster and Jimmy Rowles, which was originally issued on the obscure LP Some of My Favorites.
"Here is the essence of the muscular relaxation, the flowing swing, and the natural spontaneous expression of emotion that is the mainstream of jazz. Ben plays some of his most moving horn on recent records here. "Sweets" is superb. An essential LP." - Nat Hentoff
