o “Tickle Toe” is a swinging 1981 date with two Chicago legends : Cy Touff, one of the few bass trumpet specialists in jazz history, and tenor sax player Sandy Mosse - backed by John Campbell, Kelly Sill and Jerry Coleman.

o Cy Touff (1927-2003) was a fixture in Chicago for decades. Touff recorded albums for Pacific Jazz and Chess' Argo in the '50s. He worked in the studios, performed in clubs and recorded with Chubby Jackson and Lorez Alexandria in 1957, and with the group Hyde Park After Dark in 1981.

o Tenor saxophonist Sandy Mosse (1929-1983) was born in Detroit but spent much of his American playing time in Chicago. He moved to Paris at age 22 and recorded historical sides in the bands of Henri Renaud and Django Reinhardt. He returned to Chicago in '55 and recorded for Argo. Touff and Mosse co-led an octet in the late '50s/early '60s called Pieces of Eight. Mosse relocated to Amsterdam in the late '70s where he spent his last years.
