Al Hirt - Live at The Al Hirt Club (1967) [Hi-Res 192kHz]

Hirt, nicknamed “Jumbo” for his musical prowess as well as hefty frame, was a prodigiously talented trumpeter. After working with Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and other big bands in the 1940s, he returned home to New Orleans and played alongside traditional jazz revivalists like his friend Pete Fountain. Still, Hirt, who was conservatory-trained, considered himself “a pop commercial musician” as opposed to a jazz artist.
He had a point. He charted with dozens of albums in a variety of musical bags. In addition to “Java,” which went gold and earned him a Grammy, he hit the singles chart with “Cotton Candy” and played the theme song for “The Green Hornet.” He played Las Vegas and appeared on Dinah Shore’s TV show.
