Tell us about Fazola. He was one of the all time greats in my opinion.
HIs sound, his solo and ensemble work on the Bobcat recordings is truly
special. He would have these lovely lilting lines riding over the ensemble
that still turn me on to this day. His solo on "March of the Bobcats" ranks
up there as an all-time great solo. Pete Fountain used to copy it and did
fairly well at it.
