The Biggest Little Band in the Land features the light, jazzy touch of bassist John Kirby, one of the most accomplished jazz performers of the '40s. He and his world-famous sextet are represented on this album's 25 tracks, bringing their distinctive style to "It's Only a Paper Moon," "Sweet Georgia Brown," "St. Louis Blues," "Beethoven Riffs On," "Blue Skies," and many others, for one of the most comprehensive John Kirby Sextet collections available. ~ Heather Phares
