DESCRIPTION:
When a musician as imaginative as Dan Block considers Swing Era classics and obscurities (by Edgar Sampson, Benny Carter, Mary Lou Williams, Fletcher and Horace Henderson) but dresses them up in new Stylish garb, the results are stunning. Here's Dan (clarinet, tenor, arrangements); Godwin Louis (alto saxophone); Adam Birnbaum (piano); Jennifer Vincent (string bass); Peter Van Nostrand (drums) on May 31, 2016, in an informal session at Fat Cat on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, New York. Recorded by Michael Steinman for JAZZ LIVES (http://www.jazzlives.wordpress.com).
