Amazing big band sound

"although this was recorded with a two track recorder, the sound of this big band was captured amazingly well. favorite moments on the recording are the final two tracks which comprise one large feature for the drummer, John Guerin. well worth a listen. also, check out a very young Tom Scott on the cut "Juss Messin' Round." A at htis point he was still playing some hard swinging bebop."

Wow! Mike Barone live?

"I was in the audience on several occasions and waited for the studio
musicians to show up..Tom Scott, Med Flory, Jack Perkins. I don't think they even cared if they got paid for these gig's they had soooo much fun. I wasn't even aware they had been recorded. Too bad this albums doesn't have Perk Up, Jack on it. He also gave away? a promo tape one night with just two songs on it; Peachy and Monster. Is there any more choice recordings of this short lived band?"
