Personnel: George Lewis (clarinet); Joe Watkins (vocals, drums); Jim Robinson (trombone); Alton Purnell (piano). Recording information: Beverly Caverns Beverly, Hollywood, CA (05/26/1953-05/27/1953). Photographer: Ray Avery. Unknown Contributor Roles: Avery Howard; Jim Robinson ; Joe Watkins; Kid Howard; Laurence Marrero; Alcide Pavageau; Alton Purnell. Clarinetist George Lewis and his usual band of this period (which consisted of trumpeter Kid Howard, trombonist Jim Robinson, pianist Alton Purnell, Lawrence Marrero on banjo, bassist Slow Drag Pavageau and drummer Joe Watkins) are in better-than-average form on this well-recorded live set. Lewis and his group emphasize ensembles on the dozen New Orleans standards and the clarinetist/leader is in surprisingly extroverted form, easily the most impressive soloist. Fans of traditional jazz should go out of their way to pick up this CD. These performances were released for the first time in 1994. ~ Scott Yanow
