“What a pleasure it is to listen to Vic Dickenson!

Whether performing live in Nice at the Jazz Parade or in these recording sessions at the Studio 16, La Fontonne, Antibes, the sound of Vic Dickenson is umistakable. You can always identify the special resonance of this gentleman of the trombone. His style is warm, slightly muted and full of humor.

This disc features an excellent quartet who embrace Vic’s respect for the melody, his range of ideas and his lively swing style.” – Storyville Records.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Steve Loewy awarded the album four stars stating “Vic Dickenson was one of the great trombone stylists whose relaxed sound, slurred notes, and impeccable feel invested every solo with a unique warmth never duplicated by anyone else.”
