On this fantastic album Kessel swings together with Art Pepper, Joe Gordon, Jimmy Rowles and Shelly Manne, to name but a few.

“The release of the movie Some Like It Hot served as a good excuse for guitarist Kessel to join together with Art Pepper (switching between alto, clarinet, and tenor), trumpeter Joe Gordon, pianist Jimmy Rowles, rhythm guitarist Jack Marshall, bassist Monty Budwig, and drummer Shelly Manne to interpret a variety of vintage numbers, most of which dated from the 1920s. Such tunes as “I Wanna Be Loved by You,” “Runnin’ Wild,” “Down Among the Sheltering Palms,” and “By the Beautiful Sea” are given fairly modern arrangements but still retain the flavor of the 1920s, and it’s particularly interesting to hear Gordon and Pepper soloing on these ancient songs.” (Scott Yanow, AMG)
