The music on this CD comes from two sessions separated by a couple of weeks. I have devoted some time on both the Pee Wee Russell and Teddy Wilson albums (Lake LACD 157 & 161) to enlarge on the climactic change which the MSG tours had on jazz in this country. Suffice to say that I believe that the instigators ought to be sanctified. This latest release, recorded surprisingly well by Paul Spinks, contains plenty of examples of the Welsh band at its best. And throughout Hucko plays with verve, attack and passion, both on his feature tracks(where he reminds me - as he always does - of a hot Benny Goodman) and as the fourth member of The Welsh front line. - Ralph M. Laing

Peanuts Hucko long had a sound on clarinet that is nearly identical to that of Benny Goodman. A fine tenor player in his early days (although he largely gave up the instrument after the 1940s), Hucko's clarinet is an attractive addition to any Dixieland or swing combo. He started out as a tenor saxophonist playing in the big bands of Will Bradley (1939-1941), Charlie Spivak (1941-1942), and Bob Chester. Hucko was a member of Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band, where he was a star clarinet soloist. After being discharged from the military and playing with Benny Goodman (1945-1946) and Ray McKinley (1946-47), Hucko started an on-and-off association with Eddie Condon. He worked in the studios in the 1950s, visited Europe with Jack Teagarden and Earl Hines in 1957, toured the world with Louis Armstrong's All-Stars (1958-1960), and in the 1960s often led his own Dixieswing band. In the 1970s, for a period, he was the leader of the Glenn Miller ghost orchestra and is credited with returning the group to an authentic swing sound. In the '90s Hucko often headed groups featuring his wife, vocalist Louise Tobin. He continued to play until the very end of the '90s, but health problems eventually sidelined his playing career. On June 19, 2003 Peanuts Hucko passed away at the age of 85 in a Fort Worth, TX hospital.
