Ray Linn, who spent much of his career as a fairly modern trumpeter, also enjoyed playing Dixieland and swing. This album, his second and final release for Trend, has an intriguing lineup of players: Linn (who also wrote the arrangements); Gary Foster on clarinet, alto, baritone, and flute; veteran Eddie Miller on tenor and clarinet; trombonist Bob Havens; pianist Dave Frishberg; bassist Jim Hughart; and drummer Dick Berk. Woody Herman's former vocalist, Mary Ann McCall, does a fine job on three ballads, and the instrumental highlights include "Empty Suit Blues," "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry," and "Struttin' With Some Barbeque." An interesting session that has not yet been made available on CD.
