Struttin' and Shoutin'

Struttin' and Shoutin' is an album by trombonist Al Grey recorded in 1976 but not released on Columbia Records until 1983.

Reception

The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "the entire date has an energetic but familiar feel". The Allmusic review stated "Trombonist Al Grey, a master of the wah-wah mute, had a rare opportunity to record with a major label in 1976. But Columbia almost lost the master, and when it was finally released in 1983, one of the principals had already died. Despite its delayed arrival, this upbeat set was worth the wait".
