You need to be in top shape to join in on a world tour with these brass cats. Close your eyes and let the virtuoso brass playing carry you off to New York. Before you know it, you're suddenly in Londonderry! Get on the Duke Ellington caravan. Tico, Tico... Try out this disc for yourself-just be a clown and have some fun. Stirred - not shaken!
