As you can see I went in another direction with this photo and how I wanted to display the record and the cover. I am going to try and do something different every so often, throw a curve ball in there.
I've been sitting on the fact that this album is top notch in my heart. I bought some records from a co-worker that was getting rid of her stash and this album happened to be in there. After listening to them all, I favored this one the most and played it back to back. There is just something about instrumentalists that I absolutely adore and with a trumpeter at that, my heart melts even more. You have to respect trumpet players and their skills for being able to change notes with their lips, because I could never do it. Thus I play this wonderful record by Al Hirt. A little snippet of the back of the record sleeve:
Everyone present at the sessions observed that as the album neared completion, there emerged a higher and higher exchange of respect and admiration between Big Al and the crew. This discerning group of musicians was, in short, impressed by Hirt's talents. And why not? Creation rests on inspiration. And Al's capacity for inspiration is as oversized as his physical frame.
Enjoy!
