Al Hirt - The Happy Trumpet (2016) [Hi-Res]

The Dixieland albums he made before he found his true home at RCA Victor are collectors' items admired as classics of their genre, but it’s the RCA Victor albums that get worn out from constant replays.
This album is a prime example of the direction Al’s work has taken recently and why his success is still growing. It’s called The Happy Trumpet, and that is precisely what Al plays. It's a happy horn, unfettered by the restrictions of two beat. This is warm, liquid pop music played at a good brisk dance tempo by the man who rewrote the book on trumpet technique.
