Snag It

by Franz Jackson

Overview

Franz Jackson (77 at the time) is well featured with trombonist Jim Beebe's Chicago Jazz Band on this Delmark CD. With trumpeter Bob Neighbor completing the frontline and a fine four-piece rhythm section keeping the music swinging, Jackson (who is heard on tenor, clarinet, soprano and a few vocals) proves to still be in prime form. The repertoire is mostly from the 1920s and '30s, ranging from Dixieland and classic jazz to swing. Highlights include "How'm I Doin'," "High Society," "That Da Da Strain" and "Panama." ~ Scott Yanow
