Catalogue Note:
This is the band's first CD with Gordon Whitworth on trumpet. The rest of the band is unchanged- Mike Hayler clarinet and tenor sax; Mike Pembroke trombone; Mark Challinor banjo and Howard Worthington double bass. It was recorded live on March 11th 2005 at Sutton Coldfield Jazz Club and the CD title is very appropriate - it really is a hot album! The list of tunes includes one or two little-known tunes - Jamaica March, Li'l Liza Jane, If Ever I Cease To Love, Rent Party Blues, Bugle Boy March, Come Back Sweet Papa, I Got Rhythm, Under The Bamboo Tree, Yearning (Just For You), Yellow Dog Blues, Hindustan, Isle Of Capri, The Battle Hymn Of The Republic, East Coast Trot, Over In The Gloryland, Wolverine Blues. This is a really great album by a superb band, and you get almost 78 minutes playing time!
