i was looking through the orphan list on dimeadozen, and noticed this one that sounded famililar.  sure enough, i’d downloaded it back in late 2010, and so i seeded it to the two leechers who’d been waiting hopefully.  and i gave it a listen.  very nice!  no wonder “pepper adams” had rung a bell.  so here it is.  not too long, not too short, and a lovely recording.

p.s. any help on the line-up appreciated!

p.p.s. as always the files are unchanged unless noted… including the typo “sophistocated lady” in the info file & filename.

kind of in the mood for some ‘gypsy jazz’ today, this is about the third (shortish) show i’ve listened to this morning, and the best so far.

actually, i’m working my way through all the “hot club” concerts that i have copies of…. hot club d’autriche (this one), hot club de zazz, hot club of cowtown (two shows), hot club of san francisco, one that’s just labelled ‘hot club’, the hot swing trio.  hmmmm.  not sure i’ll make it through all of them today or perhaps even at all before feeling like a change.

anyway, this is a great show, and the original notes claim it’s even played on a stradivarius.
