Thanks a Million

by John Sheridan, Bob Barnard

Overview

Veteran Australian cornetist Bob Barnard and stride pianist John Sheridan (best known for his 23 years playing with Jim Cullum) team up for this exciting duet set. Most of the songs on their collaboration were associated with Louis Armstrong or Bing Crosby, although there are some exceptions (such as Jelly Roll Morton's "Sidewalk Blues"). Both of the musicians are heard in prime form, inspiring each other and coming up with witty and swinging ideas within the genre of pre-bop jazz. One does not miss other horns when Barnard plays, and Sheridan is a full rhythm section by himself. With such highlights as "You're Lucky to Me," "The Skeleton in the Closet," "I'm Shooting High," and "Please," this CD is easily recommended to fans of small-group swing and hot jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
