Sunny Side Of The Street was recorded July 16, 1978 in Nice, France. They put on quite a show, with Arnett sounding particularly bright on tenor and Lionel singing and playing drums. Neither is an everyday sight!
Begin The Beguine, also recorded in Nice in ’78, was practically Artie Shaw’s theme song, once upon a time. Here it gets quite a different treatment between the tenor of Arnett Cobb and the vibe virtuosity of Lionel Hampton.
