Recorded on January 25, 1935. The session that John Hammond produced for xylophonist Red Norvo on January 25, 1935 was a typical effort. Hammond recruited the up-and-coming black tenor saxophone star Leon "Chu" Berry and drummer Gene Krupa to join Norvo's group. Norvo brought clarinetist Johnny Mince, bassist Artie Bernstein, pianist Teddy Wilson, twenty-one year old guitar whiz George Van Eps, trombone star Jack Jenney, and trumpeter Bunny Berigan.

The set opens brightly with "Honeysuckle Rose," giving each of the soloists a chance to air his chops effectively.

It`s so strange how MODERN this sounds! It sounds more like "Hip Jazz from the Late 40s or 50s. very COOL!
