Conte Candoli – Toots Sweet (1955/2014) [PrestoClassical 24bit/96kHz]

Originally released on 10-inch vinyl in 1955 under the title Conte Candoli, this reissue from West Coast jazz trumpeter Conte Candoli shows a strong Miles Davis influence. The album is also notable for the performances of Candoli’s session musicians, specifically tenor sax player Bill Holman.

Conte Candoli was born in Mishawaka IN (USA) in 1927 and played during the 1940s trumpet in the Woody Herman band. Between 1947 and 1953 he is to be found in several big bands like Stan Kenton’s and Charlie Barnet’s and some smaller groups lead by Charlie Ventura and Chubby Jackson. In 1954 he made his own group, and moved to the east coast where he became a member of the Howard Rumsey Lighthouse All Stars. With his own group he made the recordings available on this remaster-reissue.
