Reissue. Features the latest remastering. Includes a Japanese description, lyrics. Features original cover artwork. A tightly swinging set of tracks dedicated to Al Jazzbo Collins – the famous jazz DJ of the 50s! Collins has little to do with the set – save for his image on the front cover – and the group's mostly a swing-based ensemble, grooving in a style that's similar to other mid 50s albums on Bethlehem, but a bit rougher and more open-ended. The ensemble seems to be led by tenor player Bob Wilber – and features Sonny Truitt on trombone, John Glasel on trumpet, Bob Hammer on piano, Bill Britto on bass, and Jackie Moffitt on drums. Titles include a number of originals – including "Giggles", "Phweedah", "View From Jazzbo's Head", and "The Troglodyte".
