Jazz is not primarily the style of music that I listen to. With that being said (and my relative ignorance of jazz) I LOVE Al Hirt "Live on Bourbon Street" (Laserlight 17 075). Very good pressing. His love of the trumpet, playfulness with band members and the audience ("St. James Infirmary") as well as some truly memorable solos make this a CD that, in my opinion, captures the essence of this man's greatness. Through this recording, the late Al Hirt will live forever in my heart! Happy Tunes!
