This is a live recording of a 1980 concert at the Municipal Theatre in Buenos Aires, Argentina by Buddy De Franco, an American jazz clarinetist who has been active since the early 1950’s. The album features orthodox jazz music by Charlie Parker, Antonio Carlos Jobim, 60’s rock and roll numbers, and 30’s screen numbers. But the highlight of the album is the local jazz musicians who participated in this concert. The lineup includes Jorge Navarro (p), Jorge Lopez-Ruiz (b), Osvaldo Lopez (ds), Ricardo Lew (g), and many other important Argentine jazz artists who are well known to those who know them. Unlike their respective solo works, these musicians are only behind the scenes, but their outstanding performance skills can be heard through their renditions of orthodox jazz numbers.
