The exuberance of this CD always fills me with life This is an absolutely wonderful CD: you feel the life and inspiration pulsing though the players as they create something entirely unique, even if many of the songs are old favorites. Jazz is amazing: through innumerable versions with a dazzling array of participants, at its best the songs are fresh and even so different that they seem entirely new. If ever I feel down or tired, I put this on for an injection of life energy. Warmly recommended. An album deserving of its title Three fantastic horn players jamming together. If you like be-bop you'll love this album. You can imagine the fun these guys had whilest recording this album. The recording captures the essence of a jam session very well - sadly, something many jazz albums lack. Joe Pass's guitar offers a nice contrast to the intensive playing of the trumpets which, at times, reach notes far above the natural register of the instrument. A piece of advice: don't listen to the album if your nerves are currently frayed - chill out first!!.
