  • They Say...

    This CD reissue of Hirt's 1962 album sports sparkling remastering and four previously unreleased tracks from the same session. Recorded live at Dan's Pier 600 in New Orleans, this is Hirt on his home turf, running through a set of stage staples like "Basin Street Blues," "Perdido," "Diga Diga Doo," "That's A-Plenty," and "Yellow Dog Blues." Personnel varies from track to track, giving some of the songs a far more modern feel than what's required and spoiling the mood in spots, but this is still a nice portrait of the trumpeter playing for the hometown faithful.
