Santo Pecora, who was playing trombone with Sharkey Bonano's band on Bourbon Street made and released several sides, all of them featuring his tremendous, driving trombone. A young 20 year old Pete Fountain is heard here, with George Girard. This release came from Europe and was previously released in the U.S. by Santo Pecora and Norman Granz on Clef Records EP-117 in 1950.

New Orleans, LA, June, 1950

Though Dixieland music is not quite my dish of tea, I admit that I went with the mass a few years back when Dixieland enjoyed quite a revival. However, I did resist, I hope, at least, the substitutes, the comedians, the imitators and the fakers of the real product. I went down to New Orleans, and there the man that impressed me the most of the later day Dixieland musicians (for this you might substitute New Orleans) was Santo Pecora, who was playing trombone with Sharkey Bonano's band on Bourbon Street. I made and released several sides with Santo Pecora, all of them featuring his tremendous, driving trombone.

This album is a collation of previously released single sides by Santo Pecora.
