Red Nichols and His Five Pennies – Red Nichols and His “Five Pennies”

A spirited collection from cornetist Red Nichols and His Five Pennies, one of the notable names of early American jazz. The album captures Nichols’ bright, energetic traditional jazz style with selections including “Blue Jay,” “Java Junction,” “C Jam Blues,” “The Bunny Jumps,” “Sweet and Low,” and “Royal Garden Blues.” This Stardust stereo pressing is a great piece of classic jazz history.
