The Best Of The West - By: Eric Koss, 22 Dec 2002
This is a concert recordedin Stuttgart,Germany 2001 featuring the sextet of Conte Candoli (tp),Carl Fontana (tmb),Teddy Edwards (ts),Pete Jolly (p),Chuck Berghofer (b) & Joe LaBarbera (d). This is a 'must have' for true lovers of West Coast Jazz as it features Conte Candoli who diedin 2002 & Carl Fontana,the trombone legend who is now institutionalised with failing health conditions. The music swings all the way propelled by a rhythm section which hasin Joe LaBarbera the last drummer of the late & reveered pianist,Bill Evans.
