The actual title of this 75 minute compilation is 'Recollections - Memories of Jazz Legends', and it comprises 1980s/90s concert footage from various sources of five renowned veteran jazz artists. Pianist Kenny Drew performs 'In Your Own Sweet Way' live at The Brewhouse, trumpeter Red Rodney plays 'Love Letters', 'Parker's Mood', 'Confirmation' and 'Round Midnight', saxophonist Dexter Gordon contributes 'Skylark', singer Willie Dixon offers up 'Wang Dang Doodle' and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie performs 'The Blues'.
There's nothing groundbreaking here, but the music is a pleasant selection of laid-back rhythms from great veteran artists continuing to entertain the crowds.
