Review by Scott Yanow
The great stride pianist Ralph Sutton was in Europe when he recorded this live concert with Dutch drummer Ted Easton's quintet. The repertoire is mostly filled with Dixieland and New Orleans warhorses (the exceptions are Benny Carter's "Blues in My Heart," "Sunshine of Love," and "Emaline"), but the musicians make the music sound fresh and generally exciting. Sutton, who was always very consistent, excels as usual and there are fine solos along the way by trumpeter Bob Wulffers, trombonist Henk Van Muyen, and clarinetist Frits Kaatee. Highlights include "I'll Be a Friend With Pleasure," "South Rampart Street Parade," "Emaline," and "Honky Tonk Train Blues," the latter one of four unaccompanied Sutton piano solos. An excellent Dixieland date from the mid-'70s; the 1975 date is an educated guess.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El gran pianista Ralph Sutton estaba en Europa cuando grabó este concierto en vivo con el quinteto del baterista holandés Ted Easton. El repertorio está mayormente lleno de caballos de guerra de Dixieland y Nueva Orleans (las excepciones son "Blues in My Heart" de Benny Carter, "Sunshine of Love" y "Emaline"), pero los músicos hacen que la música suene fresca y generalmente emocionante. Sutton, que siempre fue muy consistente, sobresale como de costumbre y hay buenos solos a lo largo del camino por el trompetista Bob Wulffers, el trombonista Henk Van Muyen, y el clarinetista Frits Kaatee. Lo más destacado incluye "I'll Be a Friend With Pleasure", "South Rampart Street Parade", "Emaline" y "Honky Tonk Train Blues", este último uno de los cuatro solos de piano no acompañados de Sutton. Una excelente fecha de Dixieland data de mediados de los años 70; la fecha de 1975 es una suposición bien fundamentada.
