Recorded live at the Hanse-Merkur Auditorium, Hamburg, Germany on March 6, 1999. The fine swing trombonist George Masso leads a top-notch sextet through seven Cole Porter songs on a spirited live date recorded in Hamburg, Germany. Masso has long been a valuable sideman but he also excels as a leader and is generous in allocating solo space. Trumpeter Lou Colombo (long a legend in the Northeast) is heard on one of his best showcases, tenor saxophonist Harry Allen (who sounds quite close to Stan Getz in spots) swings hard, and the rhythm section (pianist Johnny Varro, bassist Phil Flanigan, and drummer Jake Hanna) sounds as good as they look. Easily recommended to swing, trad, and classic jazz collectors. ~ Scott Yanow

C'est Magnifique!
Thank you Matt Tigas for this great recording, George Masso is a fine trombonist and and a gentleman to boot. I was lucky to see him when the Worlds Greatest Jazzband were on tour in England.
