Al Hirt • Swingin' Dixie - At Dan's Pier 600 in New Orleans, Vol. 2

Review by Scott Yanow

Trumpeter Al Hirt was heard at his best in the mid- to late 1950s, when his fame was mostly regional. Playing in his native New Orleans, Hirt and his sextet (which includes trombonist Bob Havens and clarinetist Harold Cooper) swing their way through a dozen Dixieland standards on his second of four albums in this series. Hirt's phenomenal technique is clearly in evidence, and he comes up with many exciting ideas on such songs as "Darktown Strutters Ball," "Stumblin'," "Chicago" and "Song of the Wanderer." Worth searching for by Dixieland fans.

El trompetista Al Hirt se escuchó en todo su esplendor a mediados y finales de la década de 1950, cuando su fama era principalmente regional. Jugando en su Nueva Orleans natal, Hirt y su sexteto (que incluye al trombonista Bob Havens y al clarinetista Harold Cooper) se abren paso a través de una docena de estándares de Dixieland en su segundo de los cuatro álbumes de esta serie. La fenomenal técnica de Hirt está claramente en evidencia, y se le ocurren muchas ideas emocionantes en canciones como "Darktown Strutters Ball", "Stumblin '", "Chicago" y "Song of the Wanderer". Vale la pena buscar por los fans de Dixieland.
