John Swana & The Philadelphians - Philly Gumbo

One of the supreme trumpeters of the current generation, JOHN SWANA has developed his voice over the course of a string of previous Criss Cross releases.Swana, varied and always bristling with creative energy, creates here, on his seventh album, something very special and a bit different, featuring a cast of Philadelphia jazz luminaries including legendary tenorist BOOTSIE BARNES and drummer BYRON LANDHAM with pianist SID SIMMONS and bassist MIKE BOONE.
