Barrett Deems Big Band Groovin' Hard Lydia Records DE-505 $14.99
Not too long before this album was recorded a reunion took place
in Chicago between Barrett Deems and. veteran Columbia Records
producer George Avakian, who recorded Louis Armstrong's great
All-Stars sessions (mid-'50s albums Ambassador Satch, Plays
Fats, etc...) when Barrett Deems was the group's drummer.
On his second big band album, Groovin' Hard , the 85 year
young Deems gives us a kicking, driving, loosely swinging workout on
classic charts in the ever young Basie-Wilkins-Hefti mold, many
freshened up with assorted amendments and on-the-money solos.
Note to Delmark distributors - please be very aware the label name on
