straight head Jazz with male vocal, featuring trombone & piano
Very good male vocals. Excellent comments on each track in the notes on what they did and where each version comes from. Give it a read.
1: 3:57 straight head Jazz with male scat style vocal, trombone, barrelhouse/boogie woogie piano
2: 5:17 mid tempo male vocal, piano & trombone featured
3: 5:51 slower male vocal, lazy trombone. piano noodling
4: 4:21 mid tempo male vocal, Hammond B3 & brass
5: 3:04 faster vocal, trombone & piano noodling
** 6: 6:33 mid tempo instrumental, nice B3
***7: 4:55 slow Blues male vocal " Not When I've Been Drinkin' "nice lazy trombone, harmonica & piano
8: 5:19 slow to mid tempo vocal
9: 5:09 mid tempo instrumental
****10: 6:31 slow, vocal, VERY NICE cover of " Goodbye Porkpie Hat" very very low TUBA magic
11: 6:15  slow to mid vocal, piano & trombone some whistling fits the title "cool" D Farrell   08/2008
