Working on the Bob Cooper chapter in the 2nd Volume of my Jazz West Coast Reader. Besides being a first-rate tenor saxophonist, Bob was also an accomplished arranger. Checkout the use of triplets on this old folk song which gives the song a 6/4 feeling. With Frank Rosolino on trombone, Victor Feldman on vibes, Lou Levy on piano, Max Bennett on bass and Mel Lewis on drums. Don't get too close. This thing is burnin'!
