Red Norvo - Red in New York (2014)

A really great later album from vibist Red Norvo – one that not only features some great small combo work of his own, but which also boasts some strong tenor from a young Scott Hamilton! But Norvo and Hamilton are only part of the group here – which also includes Dave McKenna on piano, really finding some great space in the lead – plus Richard Davis on bass and Connie Kay on drums, a nicely understated rhythm duo who give the set a looseness that really seems to bring out the best in everyone
