CD reissue. Francis Joseph Spanier was better known as "Muggsy,' established his own style that distinguished his playing from that of other cornet players. When he is leading a group, one can immediately recognize who is on the cornet. The notes for this CD set, along with the book Muggsy Spanier: The Lonesome Road (1995) by Bert Whyatt, give a fairly detailed analysis of his style. Suffice to say here he is a hot player, punching out his notes in flurries and driving the band. His tone is fat and firm and with just a slight vibrato at the end of each phrase.

Recorded in New Orleans in April of 2015, this is our second CD. Featured along with regular EarRegulars Jon-Erik Kellso on trumpet and Matt Munisteri on guitar and vocals are New Orleanians Evan Christopher on clarinet and Kerry Lewis on bass. Hot stuff!

The Complete Bud Freeman contains five Freeman originals and Bud's treatments of seven great standards. These selections give us the essential Bud Freeman: inventive music with strong emotional appeal; improvisation that is individual, tasteful, and memorable. The technique is faultless, but the true value is the original music Bud makes. And right there is the point: Bud is an original - a land mark in the story of jazz. Notably, this session, produced by Bill Borden, Steve Marvin for Monmouth-Evergreen Records in December of 1969, recorded at the famous A&R Recording studios in NYC by Phil Ramone & Dave Sanders and mixed by David Greene, finds Freeman in the prime of his over 40-year recording career.
