Fessor's Big City Band - Swing Session

Thanks to Fessor's long-term friendships with many top swing and trad jazz stars like Wild Bill Davison, the musical communication and overall atmosphere on this CD is greatly enhanced, and the musicians really swing together.The music always sounds fresh, thanks both to Fessor's attraction to a variety of musical styles and his choice of relatively unusual repertoire. Along with Fessor's typically warm and robust trombone playing there are great performances by special American guest stars CLAUDE WILLIAMS on violin, HERB HALL on clarinet, DOC CHEATHAM on trumpet and WILD BILL DAVISON on cornet, plus Danish tenor sax star BENT JAEDIG. This 65-minute CD is compiled from five recording sessions in Denmark from 1978 to 1981.
