Review

Al Hirt applied his larger-than-life presence and blustering trumpet histrionics to become an icon of New Orleans style. He always had one foot firmly planted in the broad humor of vaudeville, making this brassy collaboration with one-time femme fatale Ann-Margret as appropriate a collaboration as his lengthy guest shot as part of the show in the Chris Owens burlesque house on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The accompaniment on this freewheeling tribute to traditional jazz is topnotch, including the great vibraphonist Red Norvo, and Eddy Miller on tenor saxophone. Hirt shares the vocal chores with Ann-Margret and plays his heart out in an earnest, professional bit of showmanship. --John Swenson
