Album Review

Scott Yanow [allmusic.com

Originally recorded for the Hi Fi label, this [album] features tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca as the main soloist on a variety of standards and basic material arranged by Bill Holman, who plays baritone with the octet. Also heard from are trumpeters Conte Candoli and Ed Leddy, trombonist Frank Rosolino, pianist Vince Guaraldi, bassist Monty Budwig, and drummer Stan Levey. The music, although based on the West Coast, is not as cool-toned or as laid-back as one might expect. High points of the consistently swinging session include ''Blue Jazz'' (a Kamuca blues), ''Star Eyes,'' ''Linger Awhile,'' and ''(Back Home Again In) Indiana.''
