One of Brubeck's three recordings of the 1959-61 period that featured clarinetist Bill Smith in the place of altoist Paul Desmond with the Quartet, this one finds Smith contributing ten originals that use various modes and unusual scales. The music generally swings and there are some fine solos but none of the individual pieces are all that memorable. ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/brubeck-a-la-mode-mw0000320166

Personnel: Dave Brubeck (piano); Bill Smith (clarinet); Eugene Wright (bass); Joe Morello (drums).

The complete original album Swing Goes Dixie (Verve MGV1010), presenting the great Roy Eldridge in an unusual context as the leader of a group playing mostly traditional and Dixieland jazz. The group consists of a sextet, which also features trombonist Benny Morton, and two stars from the classic Count Basie rhythm section: Walter Page and Jo Jones.

As a bonus we have added one complete session that was also recorded for Verve a few years earlier. The date showcases Eldridge in a very similar mood to that of our main album.We have also included the only two tracks featuring Eldridge from a Ralph Burns LP.https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/8767/roy-eldridge/swing-goes-dixie

Personnel: Roy Eldridge - trumpet; Benny Morton - trombone; Eddie Barefield - clarinet; Dick Wellstood - piano; Walter Page - bass; Jo Jones - drums
