STEREO 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED The most immediately noticeable reason for feeling excited about this album is spelled out by the personnel, for this is surely one of the most impressive collections of sheer jazz talent assembled in a recording studio, fitted together into a smooth-working unit. The man responsible for this project was Trig- ger Alpert, long recognized as a sure and sensitive bass player. Emphasizing sturdy, unhackneyed standards, his aim was to create music that would be funky and swinging, and he wanted to achieve this by rounding up an all-star septet backed by some of the best arrangers available. The musicianship of all seven musicians is superb, with Trigger and Shaughnessy laying down a formidable piano-less, big-sounding, firm- ly pulsing beat. The solos by all are consistently excellent, and the charts supplied by three highly skilled modern jazz arrangers Marty Paich, Dick Hyman and Tony Scott produced some remarkably happy and swinging music.
