Description:
Norvo Naturally by Red Norvo, released 13 May 2008.
This version of Norvo Naturally comes as a 1xLP. - W/ BOB DRASNIN/JIM WYBLE/BUDDY CLARK/BILL DOUGLAS
This enjoyable set from vibraphonist Red Norvo features his 1957 quintet: Bob Drasnin on flute and alto, guitarist Jim Wyble, bassist Buddy Clark and drummer Bill Douglass. The music is essentially cool-toned bop that swings hard but lightly; an excellent setting for Norvo's vibes. In addition to two of Red's originals ("Spiders' Web" and "Scorpion's Nest"), the band performs six superior standards.
