A superior swing-based tenor saxophonist, Danny Moss is heard here on one of his finest sessions. He is joined by Buddha's Gamblers, an exciting German septet. Together they explore some of the most viable devices of the swing era, including heated and riff-filled renditions of "Just You, Just Me," "The Jeep Is Jumpin'," "Crazy Rhythm," and "The King." Moss and the band clearly inspired each other, and there are plenty of stirring performances throughout this highly recommended German import.
