Search - Cy Touff, Sandy Mosse :: Tickle Toe

One of the few bass trumpet specialists in jazz history, Cy Touff (1927-2003) was a fixture in Chicago for decades. Touff recorded albums for Pacific Jazz and Argo in the '50s. He worked in the studios, performed in clubs and recorded with Chubby Jackson and Lorez Alexandria in 1957, and with the group Hyde Park After Dark in 1981. Tenor saxophonist Sandy Mosse (1929-1983) was born in Detroit but spent much of his American playing time in Chicago. Touff and Mosse co-led an octet in the late '50s/early '60s called Pieces of Eight. Tickle Toe is a swinging 1981 date with John Campbell, Kelly Sill and Jerry Coleman.
