Millman,Jack Big Bands Swingin Years: Jack Millman CD

Trumpet and flugelhorn player Jack Millman was just 17 when he "sat in" with Lionel Hampton and was then invited by Hamp to join the band for a 6-week stint at the Paramount Theatre in Los Angeles. Just before he was drafted in the Army he joined the Stan Kenton Orchestra for a West Coast Road Tour. When he completed his service he came out to form and manage his own jazz groups throughout the 50's that played the West Coast scene extensively. Presented here is Jack and his Hollywood Jazz All Stars performing a selection of standards from the swing and bop eras. Featured players include Herb Geller, Shelly Manne, Jimmy Guiffre, Red Mitchell and a host of West Coast jazz all-stars. All selections newly remastered.
