Product DescriptionThis is a release by popular demand, of the first major gig by the Hounds in NYC, at Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing festival, in 1998. This is a smaller representation of the Hounds before they were doing alot of the original material they became associated with. These are covers of hard swinging classic songs, mostly instrumental, featuring the original incarnation of the band, while some of the members were still in the big band of Illinois Jacquet, and they all left shortly after this concert, as it really put the Hounds on the map! If you want to hear the Hounds burn it down, this is for you.
