1956 tenor-saxophonist Charlie Ventura

 no longer had a regular band and was drifting into semi-retirement.

 In fact, other than an album for King the following year and a set for

 Famous Door in 1977, this Lp was his final recording.

 Teamed with the then-unknown pianist Dave McKenna,

 guitarist Billy Bean, bassist Richard Davis (at the beginning of his career)

 and drummer Mousey Alexander, Ventura switches between tenor, alto,

 baritone and bass saxophones.

 The repertoire is filled with swing and dixieland standards including

 such unlikely songs as "When The Saints Go Marching In,

 " "Bill Bailey" and "Sweet Sue" (in addition to a remake of Ventura's 

 old hit with Gene Krupa "Dark Eyes")

 but the interpretations are full of spirit and swing. 

 Although it may not look too promising, this budget Lp 

 (which is long out of print but may be found at a cheap price)

 is actually well worth picking up.
