A true Jazz "Giant" of the West Coast - the man with the Trumpet and the Flugelhorn - Shorty Rogers. He was one of the principal creators of what has entered jazz history as the so-called "West-Coast-Style". The recordings with his band which was called "The Giants" incorporated some of his more avant-garde music. To some extent they could be classified as "cool" jazz; but they also looked back to the "hot" style of Count Basie, whom Rogers always credited as a major inspiration. All tracks on this album have been carefully remastered in 24 Bit High Definition. Enjoy!
