Review by Bill Dahl
An amazing artifact from 1957, when live recordings like this one didn't happen very often. A Seattle engineer with a spanking-new stereo tape recorder captured the contents of this disc while McNeely and his swinging combo were working out at a Seattle nightspot called the Birdland. He gets plenty of room to peel the paper from the gin joint's walls as he wails on "Flying Home," "How High the Moon," and "Let It Roll."

Reseña de Bill Dahl
Un artefacto asombroso de 1957, cuando grabaciones en vivo como esta no sucedían muy a menudo. Un ingeniero de Seattle con una nueva grabadora de cinta estereofónica capturó el contenido de este disco mientras McNeely y su combo de swing estaban trabajando en un lugar nocturno de Seattle llamado The Birdland. Tiene mucho espacio para despegar el papel de las paredes del bar mientras se lamenta por "Flying Home", "How High the Moon" y "Let It Roll".
