These bright Dixie-to-swing sessions were initially issued on the Stomp Off label, with two additional, previously unissued sessions tacked on. Jones and Sudhalter are staunch interpreters of these songs of the 1920s and '30s, evoking clear echoes of Bix Beiderbecke, Bobby Hackett, Louis Armstrong, and others. Performers include Jones on cornet and Sudhalter on trumpet, with pianist Keith Ingham, bassist Greg Cohen, guitarists Marty Grosz and James Chirillo, drummer Arnie Kinsella, and frontline help from alto saxophonist and clarinetist Joe Muranyi and trombonist Bobby Pring. The most familiar numbers are Beiderbecke's sweet "Davenport Blues," Cole Porter's upbeat, Jones-led "Rosalie," and Pring and Muranyi on the Frankie Trumbauer hit "Singin' the Blues." Another standout is the wonderful show tune "Futuristic Rhythm," with its myriad rhythmic changes and Latin, click clack, hard swinging beats. Some smaller combinations arise as Sudhalter and Ingham gently stride through "I'd Climb the Highest Mountain" and the stark and bluesy "Persian Rug," and perform spirited jamming on "Why Couldn't It Be Poor Little Me?" Jones alone states the theme on the easy paced "Ol' Pigeon Toed Joad" and gives the rougher-hewn ballad "Jeannine" a neat contrast. The two brassmen are at their best when dueling away on "If I Had a Million Dollars," "Changes," and the title cut, where their sound meshes and brings the sunny side out. Though the subtitle of this session is "Live at the Vineyard" (the Vineyard Theater in New York City) there is no crowd noise, so it's not an in-concert performance. It is a date that early period jazz mavens will want to own.~ Michael G.Nastos https://www.allmusic.com/album/get-out-get-under-moon-live-at-the-vineyard-mw0000601886

Dick Sudhalter has had an unusual dual career as a superior trad-oriented cornetist and as a jazz journalist. The crowning achievement of his latter career was the co-authorship (with Philip Evans and William Dean-Myatt) of the superb Bix Beiderbecke biography Bix: Man and Legend. Less known is that Sudhalter has long been a fine improviser himself. He grew up in Boston and played in England in the 1960s (organizing the New Paul Whiteman Orchestra). Since returning to the U.S., Sudhalter has freelanced on the classic jazz scene, played with the New York Jazz Repertory Company and the Classic Jazz Quartet, and recorded for several labels including Audiophile and Challenge. ~Scott Yanow

Dick Sudhalter, best known as one of the three writers responsible for one of the great jazz biographies (Bix - Man and Legend), is also a fine trumpeter who has the influence of Bix Beiderbecke fairly well-buried in his own lyrical style. Sudhalter had lived in England during the 1965-75 period, making this get-together (subtitled "& His London Friends") a musical reunion. Sudhalter and 13 other musicians are heard together in different combinations caressing a set of high-quality swing standards. With Keith Nichols (doubling on piano and trombone), altoist John R.T. Davies and trombonists Roy Williams and Jim Shepherd emerging as the top soloists in the supporting cast, Sudhlater sounds quite inspired. Whether it be "Dream a Little Dream of Me," "Tea for Two," "The Blue Room" or "Rose of Washington Square," this is a delightful and very melodic set. ~ Scott Yanow
