American Jazz Quintet - Gulf Coast Jazz - Wade in the Water

The second release of music from the Gulf Coast Jazz sessions comes from the February 23, 1959 session at Cosimo's studio in New Orleans. Recorded in stereo for release on Andex Records, some of the tracks on this album were released on Bumps Blackwell's Famous Records label. Like the first session, Ellis Marsalis, Alvin Batiste, Harold Battiste, Ed Blackwell and Richard Payne or William Swanson provide a very interesting program of the unique jazz that these musicians were the primary proponents of. These treasures should not be ignored.
