Very nice. I grew up listening to his Carnegie Hall Concert vinyl, as my
parents had it, for some strange reason, because they were not jazz
aficionados! So Gene Krupa going berserk in "Sing, Sing, Sing" is really
one of my childhood memories. The lasting benefit, though, that the album
bestowed on me is the first glimpse of a lifelong appreciation of the
talents of the incomparable Johnny Hodges, mainstay and primary soloist of
the Duke Ellington Band.

Cheers
