This wild and woolly Dixieland session--recorded on July 24, 1970 in Chester, New Jersey--featured Gene as a guest performer with Chuck Slate's Traditional Jazz Band. Gene is in unbelievable, late-period form here, soloing on virtually every tune. This recording, being offered on a limited edition/private circulation CD for the first time, was made commercially available very, very briefly and on audio cassette only almost ten years ago. The band is comprised of Larry Weiss/piano, Marv Ross/cornet, Marty Bergen/trombone, Lou Levi/piano, and Warren Vache, Sr./bass. Songs are: Alice Blue Gown, After You've Gone, Louisiana, Dippermouth Blues,Who's Sorry Now, Honeysuckle Rose, There'll Be Some Changes Made,I Found a New Baby, China Boy, I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter (Medley), Hindustan, Honeysuckle Rose #2 This is a rare and singular 62-minute outing with Gene at his best!
