Tenor saxophonist Mike Cuozzo was 30 when he recorded his only two
albums as a leader. He had played as a sideman with various orchestras,
including the Gerry Mulligan-styled Elliot Lawrence band of 1948. His
tone was big and round, his beat vigorous, and his style a confident
combination of swing era and modern elements.
The calibre of his outstanding associates on these sessions is a mark of
the esteem in which he was held, with Vinnie Burke and the beara young,
leaping Eddie Costa, on piano and vibes- soloing strongly, and the
fluid drumming of Nick Stabulas and the hugely influential Kenny Clarke
keeping a dynamic balance throughout the sessions.
Although he stopped being a full time musician by the mid Fifties, Mike
Cuozzo realized the ambition of every jazz musician, playing regularly
and blowing the way he wanted to blow and, as these sessions show, he
was more than merely good.

El saxofonista tenor Mike Cuozzo tenía 30 años cuando grabó sus dos
únicos álbumes como líder. Había tocado como sideman en varias
orquestas, incluyendo la banda de Elliot Lawrence de 1948, al estilo de
Gerry Mulligan. Su tono era grande y redondo, su ritmo vigoroso y su
estilo una combinación segura de la era del swing y elementos modernos.
El calibre de sus destacados colaboradores en estas sesiones es una
muestra de la estima que se le tenía, con Vinnie Burke y el joven beara,
saltando Eddie Costa, en el piano y el vibráfono - haciendo solos con
fuerza, y la fluida batería de Nick Stabulas y el enormemente influyente
Kenny Clarke manteniendo un equilibrio dinámico a lo largo de las
sesiones.
Aunque dejó de ser un músico a tiempo completo a mediados de los 50,
Mike Cuozzo se dio cuenta de la ambición de todo músico de jazz, tocando
regularmente y soplando como quería soplar y, como muestran estas
sesiones, era más que simplemente bueno.
