Joe Venuti – The Joe Venuti Blue Four

Jazz violin pioneer Joe Venuti leads a superb small-group session with an all-star cast including Zoot Sims, Bucky Pizzarelli, Dick Hyman, Milt Hinton, Spencer Clark, Dill Jones, and Cliff Leeman. Recorded in New York in 1973, the album revisits standards including “Blue Room,” “Dinah,” “Tea for Three,” and “I Got Rhythm” with Venuti’s unmistakable swing and wit.
