• The Buddy De Franco-Tommy Gumina Quartet made a sensational debut at Hollywood’s “Pick-a-Rib” night club in March 1960, playing assertive, driving modern jazz. In this new setting, Buddy’s fleet, fluid clarinet gained an exciting, fresh context with jazz accordion virtuoso Tommy Gumina.

• The quartet’s first two albums, “Pacific Standard (Swingin’!) Time” (1960) and “Presenting…” (1961) feature appealing arrangements by De Franco and Gumina, placing the emphasis on melody and rhythm, lyricism and stimulation, as much as on their dazzling technical accomplishments.

• Both leaders are also pushed hard by the sturdy rhythm support of bassists Bob Stone and Bill Plummer, and drummers Frank De Vito or John Guerin. Together they deliver straightforward, thoughtfully conceived and beautifully played unpretentious small-group jazz, with a character all its own.

• 2 original albumss on 1 CD - 22 tracks - 24-bit digitally remastered stereo.
