5.0 out of 5 stars big joe moans and trumpets wail!, December 9, 2001

This unique date with whose who on the horn kills. I guess it
always will. I bought Big Joe a couple of stouts once. I
think he had a little crush on my girlfriend so I got to hang
with him a couple of nights at Fat Tuesday. This was a very
endearing man who could shake your soul one moment and break
your heart the next. This multi trumpet all star bash meshes
beautifully into Joeville. Bluesy late night exquisite.

4 of the greatest trumpet players in jazz and a great Kansas City vocalist give their all for Norman Granz. Expertise combined with a lot of fun and a lot of blues feeling is a mix that may be hard to duplicate these days. My own favourite is I Know You Love me Baby, particularly Eldridge's muted trumpet backing for Joe Turner early in the track, but there is a lot of fine playing and singing. And let's not forget Pee Wee Crayton and the R&B rhythm section
