The Bud Freeman All-Stars featuring Shorty Baker


The Bud Freeman All-Stars featuring Shorty Baker is an album by saxophonist Bud Freeman with trumpeter Shorty Baker recorded in 1960 and originally released on the Swingville label.

Reception

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "Tenor-sax great Bud Freeman, who is often associated with the Eddie Condon school of Nicksieland, is heard heading an excellent swing quintet for this 1960 studio session. Trumpeter Harold "Shorty" Baker made too few small-group recordings throughout his life so this is one of his best... the group plays superior standards and a couple of originals on this fine swing date".
