This performance presents some top latter-day traditionalists—coincidentally based in New York—working within the style named for that city. Bass sax replaces string bass here, giving us another facet of the New York sound. Whole tone/augmented chord figures by the horns can be heard at 1:23 and 2:23, and “spanked cymbal” is heard at 2:52 behind the trombone.
