In retrospect, there does not seem to be enough Frank Rosolino on disc, which is one reason why this one is so valuable. Taken from a club date at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen during what was to be the trombonist's last European tour, this full-length document features Rosolino alone with the very compatible Thomas Clausen Trio for five numbers, on which Rosolino stretches at length. (None of the tracks are less than ten minutes.) For those who admire this extraordinary performer, this recording is a lovefest, with the trombonist in great shape, taking long, exciting solos. The sound quality is excellent, too. While all the pieces are ones with which Rosolino was highly familiar, and had played on numerous occasions, these versions are virtually definitive in that he is the only horn, backed only by a fine rhythm trio, and there are no time limitations. Rosolino was an original stylist, something that is fully evident here. He ran up and down the slide with incredible speed, agility, and range in a much rougher way than the popular and influential light doodle-do tonguing approach of, say, Carl Fontana. Rosolino had it all: range, an endless flow of ideas, a machine-gun delivery, and emotional depth. On Thelonious Monk's upbeat "Straight No Chaser," he performs with an amazing facility, while on "How About You?," he showcases his ballad artistry. Rosolino is sometimes remembered for the way in which he died, but this album forces listeners to remember him for the way he performed: joyously and even euphorically. ~ Steven Loewy, All Music Guide

The horrible way that Frank Rosolino's life ended (killing himself after shooting his two sons) has largely overshadowed his earlier musical accomplishments. One of the top trombonists of the 1950s, Rosolino's fluid and often-humorous style put him near the top of his field for awhile.
He was a guitarist when he was ten, but switched to trombone as a teenager. After serving in the military, Rosolino played with the big bands of Bob Chester, Glen Gray, Gene Krupa (1948-1949), Tony Pastor, Herbie Fields, and Georgie Auld. However, all of those experiences were just preludes to his high-profile association with Stan Kenton (1952-1954), which gave him fame. Rosolino recorded frequently in Los Angeles as a member of the Lighthouse All-Stars (1954-1960), a freelancer, and as a studio musician. His song "Blue Daniel" became a jazz standard, and Rosolino was a popular attraction as a brilliant trombonist and a comical singer. He was with Supersax for a period in the 1970s. Rosolino's shocking ending was a surprise to even his closest associates.
