Drummer
Butch Miles'
recording debut as a leader was his first of five Famous Door releases.
Miles
leads an all-star mainstream sextet also including both
Scott Hamilton
(during his brief pre-Concord days) and
Al Cohn
on tenors, flugelhornist
Marky Markowitz
, pianist
John Bunch
, and bassist
Milt Hinton
. Equally influenced by
Buddy Rich
and
Gene Krupa
,
gets in a few good spots, but mostly lets his top-notch sidemen blow. With the exception of the spontaneous
"For the Boss,"
the repertoire is comprised of material from the swing era, including "Cherokee," "The King" (originally a feature for
Illinois Jacquet
with
Count Basie's Orchestra
in the mid-40s) and "Broadway." An excellent set with a jam session feel, this LP from the defunct Famous Door label will be difficult to find. ~ Scott Yanow
