HighNote CD 7037 Charles Earland Stomp! $13.00 Order | ||||
The world was saddened by the passing of The Mighty Burner, Charles Earland late last year. But the sadness of the loss is tempered somewhat by the rousing good music on this disc. Charlie's last recording with his "regular" band. Featuring Eric Alexander and Michael Karn on tenors and James Rotondi on trumpet in the front line, this has a real "Little Big Band" sound. Charles was in fine fettle when he went into the famed Van Gelder Studio for this recording, playing up a storm and contributing a set of white-hot original tunes. Hear the B-3 as only Charlie could play it, and "stomp" along with The Mighty Burner.
