A live performance captured by the budding “Professor” on his first vacuum-tube, three-channel analogue recorder on New Year’s Eve, 1957. One of the most natural-sounding presentations ever of a live acoustic jazz group.

Reviews:

“The sound is spectacular. 8/9” —CD Review

“The music on this CD, taken from a New Year’s Eve concert, had never been issued prior to the release of this CD by Reference in 1991. With Jerry Dodgion (mostly on alto and flute), guitarist Jimmy Wyble, bassist Red Wooten and drummer John Markham being his sidemen, this was a well-integrated group despite the lack of major names. Norvo’s vibe playing was in its prime and he is in excellent form during a wide-ranging set that ranges from “My Funny Valentine” and “When You’re Smiling” to Quincy Jones’s “For Lena and Lennie” and “How’s Your Mother in Law”; the repertoire includes quite a few obscurities. This surprisingly well-recorded CD is well worth picking up as an example of Red Norvo’s playing in the latter half of the 1950s.” —Scott Yanow, AllMusic
