Don Fagerquist (1927-1974) might be one of the most underrated jazz trumpeters in history - despite countless recordings with Gene Krupa, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Les Brown and Dave Pell. Although he was a Hollywood studio musician from 1956 onwards, Don Fagerquist maintained his contact with the jazz scene over the years, as these tracks can prove. He had a unique sound and phrasing that immediately identified him. This CD is a delightful, warm and descriptive musical portrait of a great jazz musician.

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Gordon Jack

The title of this welcome release in the Jazz City Series does not overstate his great talent. He was not only a brilliant lead player but also an inventive soloist with an immediately identifiable sound.
