• Two complete consecutive albums by Bob Brookmeyer, “The Blues Hot and Cold” (1960) and “7 x Wilder”, both of which appear here on CD for the first time ever.
• Personnel : Bob Brookmeyer, valve trombone & piano; and Mel Lewis, drums, with (on ‘Blues’) : Jimmy Rowles, piano; Buddy Clark, bass - Los Angeles, June 16, 1960; and (on ‘Wilder’) : Jim Hall, guitar; Bill Crow, bass; - New York, June 29, 1961.
• The Blues Hot and Cold’ consists of a traditional trombone quartet, with piano, bass and drums, with a repertoire of jazz standards, original compositions by Brookmeyer and a variation on “Stompin’ at the Savoy”. ‘7 x Wilder’ is a more unconventional project : a collection of compositions by Alec Wilder (with the exception of Brookmeyer’s “Blues for Alec”) - with Brookmeyer alternating between trombone and piano, and Jim Hall as a second soloist on guitar.
• Total Time: 72:30 - 13 tracks - Includes 12-page booklet
