Short intro

Robert Roland Chudnick September 27, 1927 May 27, 1994, known professionally as Red Rodney, was an American jazz trumpeter. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he became a professional musician at 15, working in the mid-1940s for the big bands of Jerry Wald, Jimmy Dorsey, Georgie Auld, Elliot Lawrence, Benny Goodman, and Les Brown. He was inspired by hearing Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker to change his style to bebop, moving on to play with Claude Thornhill, Gene Krupa, and Woody Herman. Then and Now. Red Rodney.

There's no better argument for keeping your turntable on pitch, its tone arm balanced, and its cartridge and needle freshly maintained. The album starts off with a long version of STAR EYES, a tune Red's mentor and hero Charlie Parker recorded twice. It's done medium tempo and pianist Tommy Flanagan really shines. Album 1957 6 Songs.
