When Allan Vaché plays swing on his clarinet, the smooth sounds invite comparisons to a young Benny Goodman, which isn't surprising since the King of Swing was one of Vaché's chief influences. Vaché can be downright blistering as well as warm and inviting and his graceful playing makes even complicated pieces seem easy. Critics also compare him to jazz clarinetist Peanuts Hucko. ~ Linda Seida

Allan Vaché (clarinet); David Jones (cornet); Bob Leary (guitar); Phil Flanigan (bass).

Recorded on July 18 & 19, 1999.

  1. Thank you Mat Tiggas for this great contribution. This is a very good album for jazz lovers who enjoy their music in the style of Muggsy Spanier and Sydney Bechet, just listen to track 5. When My Dreamboat Comes Home: sheer joy!
