Cat Anderson - Wild Onions

With Cat Anderson, Wild Onions, this session represents one of the only official studio recordings of Ellington trumpet star Cat Anderson, ironically both were done in Europe, by European companies. The first was recorded in 1958, and the second was this one, recorded in 1964. Anderson was primarily known as the ultimate "high-note" trumpet man for Ellington, but this session affords the listener with an opportunity to experience some of Anderson's more subtle styles.
