Australia's internationally best known and most successful jazz musician, trumpeter Bob Barnard, with a unique mastery of everything from 1920s Armstrong to Swing and Mainstream, plays a varied mixture of three
Armstrong classics for quartet, two duo ballads and ten familiar and less familiar Dixieland and Swing numbers in two diflerent quintet settings.
A record longed for by critics and general public alike, because in recent decades Bob has mostly recorded Mainstream.
