Criss Cross Jazz 1260 CD

John Swana & The Philadelphians

Philly Gumbo Vol. 2

Available: February 15, 2005

For his ninth Criss Cross session as a leader, trumpet sensation John Swana makes the scene again with several of his peers from the city of Brotherly Love for a follow-up to 2001's Philly Gumbo.

Featuring the legendary tenors of Bootsie Barnes and Larry McKenna, Philly Gumbo vol. 2 offers a bristling set of hardbop delights, the kind of fair you might hear in Philly when dropping in at Ortlieb's Jazzzhaus to catch Swana for a set or two.

The rhythm section has Sid Simmons on piano, Mike Boone on bass, and drummer Byron Landham.
