Information/Write-up

On this quintet set, vibraphonist Peter Appleyard often sounds like Lionel Hampton (with touches of Milt Jackson and Red Norvo), tenor saxophonist Rick Wilkins plays like a close relative of Zoot Sims, Butch Miles' hard-driving drums owe obvious debts to Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, and the repertoire is far from inspired. But Appleyard and company (which also includes guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli and bassist Major Holley) sound so enthusiastic (as if they were thoroughly enjoying themselves as they come up with new variations on the ancient material) that the swinging results are quite infectious. Whether it be "Tangerine," "Stompin' at the Savoy," "Air Mail Special," or "Cherokee," the talented veterans sound like they just invented the songs.
