WOW ! ! !

"Wow ! What a great CD. Brings back memories to an 80 year old !
I was just looking for a Bauduc/ Haggart rendition of "Big Noise", but I got that and more.
The Bobcats were a great jazz group and each member a virtuoso, in his own right. This CD displays that characteristic of the combined group.
What a relief from the "hip-hop" of today ! The Bobcats never let the notes interfere with their feelings !"
