Red Norvo Combo- Vibes a la Red
This classic album originally released on the Famous Door label was vibraphonist Red Norvo's first date as a leader in five years (since an Affinity session with the Newport All-Stars). Although largely neglected in the 1960s, Norvo was still in prime form as he shows on such numbers as "The One I Love," "Tea for Two," and "Runnin' Wild." He is heard either with a quartet, also including pianist Hank Jones, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Jo Jones, or a quintet with pianist Jimmie Rowles, bassist Gene Cherico, drummer Donald Bailey, and guitarist Lloyd Ellis. It's high quality swing from one of the great vibraphonists.
Tracklist:
- One I Love, The
- Tea For Two
- Runnin' Wild
- A Short One For Santa Monica
- Blues For Wrvr
- On Green Dolphin Street
- Don't Blame Me
- Runnin' Wild
- The One I Love Belongs To Someone Else (Take 4)
- Tea For Two (Take 3)
- The One I Love Belongs To Someone Else (Take 7)
