About This Item
This enjoyable set from vibraphonist Red Norvo features his 1957 quintet Bob Drasnin on flute and alto, guitarist Jim Wyble, bassist Buddy Clark and drummer Bill Douglass. The music is essentially cool-toned bop that swings hard but lightly; an excellent setting for Norvo's vibes. In addition to two of Red's originals (InchSpiders' WebInch and InchScorpion's NestInch), the band performs six superior standards.
