From the back cover: Tyree Glenn is one of those rare artists who manages to convey his own personality through his music. The very essence of his character is in his performances. He is by nature a warm, happy-go-lucky gregarious sort who would prefer to always leave you laughing. This is not to say that Tyree doesn't have his serious moments, it's just that by his very make-up he rarely comes upon such moments. This is the nature of the man, and this too is the nature of the artist. His music is smart, light, effervescent, often tongue in cheek – and always a delight to hear. This collection depicts Tyree's successful stand at the famed London House in Chicago. For this purpose, Tyree has brought  together some of the greatest musicians now playing. Together they mix some old and new favorites with a verve and bounce that belies the fact that some of these songs have been performed many times, by many artists. Tyree's lighting fast arrangement on the vibes on "Avalon" or his slow, "two beat guy" raucous trombone rendition on "Lonesome Road" are just two examples of Tyree and the group's sparkling originality with the songs in this set. Tyree Glenn is a personality worth meeting and the best way to meet and know him is to hear him. Whether live at the London House in Chicago, or at your house on the phonograph, Tyree Glenn is always fun and it's always a pleasure to have him around...
