Hi-Fi Dixieland - Art Mooney

 

Hindustan

Hi-Fi Dixieland
Art Mooney And His All Stars
MGM Records E3616
1958

From the back cover: Featured in the Art Mooney orchestra are some of the finest purveyors of Dixieland around today, including: Nappy Lamare on guitar and banjo; Matty Matlock on clarinet; Stan Wrightsman on piano and harpsichord (the latter a new, but extremely welcome instrumental addition to the ranks of Dixie); Moe Schneider on trombone; Eddie Miller on sax; Ray Barduc on drums; John Best on trumpet and Ray Leatherwood on both bass and tuba.

From Billboard - March 31, 1958: Here's a solid package for Dixieland and hi-fi fans, Mooney and a group of outstanding sidemen (Nappy Lamare, Matty Matlock, Eddie Miller, Ray Bauduc, etc.) serve up bouncy, infectious two-beat versions of "Sweet Georgia Brown," "South Rampart Street Parade," "12th Street Rag," etc.
